Operation Song: West Point to Arlington - Ward Davis

Drivin' home form work today

Tears rollin' down my face

Couldn’t help but stop and pray, for your family

Wasn’t but just last May

You told me about your fiancé

And how proud you were of that green beret

And goin' over seas

You knew you were headin' into hell

But you had a job that was bigger than yourself

Now I’m tryin' to live life

Worthy of your sacrifice

To be the husband and the father

You never got to be

And now your work is done

Your course on earth is run

It can’t be saved, well done

Be thou at peace

Be thou at peace

I wanna stay strong

But with you and all the others gone

It’s hard to keep movin' on

I wish I could take your place

I’m forever in your debt

'Cause of the bar you set

I know I haven’t hit it yet

But I hope I will someday

Every time I’m feeling weak

I pray and I feel you liftin' me

Now I’m tryin' to live life

Worthy of your sacrifice

To be the husband and the father

You never got to be

And now your work is done

Your course on earth is run

It can’t be saved, well done

Be thou at peace

Be thou at peace

And now your work is done

Your course on earth is run

From West Point to Arlington

From West Point to Arlington

Be thou at peace

Be thou at peace
