SIXTEEN SO FAR


Sixteen so far were prepared to give
A life full of promise so that I might live
A loss not too great if you were to ask some
A loss just the same even if it were only one
Misery, turmoil, fear of defeat
Has an uncanny way of making DEATH seem sweet
Sixteen so far will there be more
Sixteen so far will it reach America`s shore
Sixteen so far what a tremendous loss
Sixteen so far what an already high cost
Sixteen so far who will not return home
Sixteen so far who`s spirits are forever free to roam
Sixteen so far who I could never say enough thanks
Sixteen so far who have now reached the highest rank
