Lyrics
All For You(Song From An Unknown Soldier)
Come to think of it.. I'd have chosen some other way
Come to think of it.. I was hoping for one more day
And something is slipping away, I can't hold on to
I don't pretend I'm brave
But everything I gave
I gave for you
Tried to rescue you Tried to see you through
What you could not do
Gave it all for you
Come to think of it... I'm not sure that you asked for this
And the price I've paid...I don't believe that this was your wish
My gift is not mine alone, My family gives too
Those who cry for me and said goodbye to me
Shed a tear or two
And hope when you are free
You'll think of them and me With gratitude
For what we gave to you
Some say you won't But I have faith and believe
Ours is a gift you'll truly receive
Come to think of it .. There's no flag at half staff today
Come to think of it .. You don't know how I died today
What I've done, others have done When love asked them to
We gave all we could Cause we believed you should
Be free to choose And did it cause we cared
That"s why we came and dared To die for you
It's why I died for you ...
It's why I died for you
We gave it all for you
