Analysis of PLEASE RECALL MY NAME

Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)



PLEASE RECALL MY NAME

if I died for you
Would you recall my name?
If I stand and see it through,
Will the world remain the same?

If I fought the enemy,
In some far and foreign field
Would you say a prayer for me
That liberty will never yield

For my God and my Land
Proudly would I fight
But I wish we all could stand
United in His light

If I called out to you,
Would you stand with me?
I can't say we'll see it through
But we'd die for Liberty

Because liberty isn't cheap,
But talk ain't worth a penny
You ask what soldier do I weep,
Brother there's too damn many

Man I DIED for you!
So please recall my name
When the next one lies here too
His world won't remain the same
