(Chorus to start) <br /> <br />Take Me back on the Wings of Glory <br />Carry me far across the sea; <br />Lay me down in the land I love so <br />Where my spirit is forever free <br /> <br />V1 <br />O my love, my sweetest darling <br />I guess you know what I must tell; <br />In the raging heat of battle <br />There, my dear, is where I fell. <br /> <br />V2 <br />Weep not ye for me in sorrow <br />Heaven's peace is home above <br />The heart's pain it is eternal <br />Tears are just the pearls of love <br /> <br />Chorus <br /> <br />v3 <br />Pride and honour shall now guide you <br />Tell our kids their Dad was brave <br />The ways of war stole them from me <br />My love lives beyond the grave <br /> <br />chorus..instrumental <br /> <br />v4 <br />By sea and land, my lass, my darling <br />I'll wait for you till the end of days <br />No desert sands, nor guns of fury <br />Could ever halt the green berets! ! ! ! !<br /><br />Patrick Scott Hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-the-wings-of-glory-for-those-who-died-in-iraq-for-blair-and-bush-s-madness/
