Lyrics
CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS
From the hills of West Virginia
came the Pride of Palistine
A tiny town, they're rarely mentioned
but a bigger Hero you'll never find
In the name of Freedom she'll accept her call
and when her Country called, she proudly served
To those who fought we'd like to thank them all
and we sure owe a lot to her
CHORUS:
She stood..for what's Right
Fought ..a good fight
Made us proud of who we are
Embraced Liberty..faced Adversity
Refused to run..she's done her part
And she's a Hero close to our hearts
The whole world prepared to listen
It was hard to ignore what was going on
When Pvt. Lynch was among the missing
The price of war..it sure hit home
Our hearts and prayers went out to Jessie
Someone so young, it seemed so wrong
And when we thought that God did not get our message
I guess He knew what He was doing..all along
(repeat CHORUS)
