There are fallen heroes in Iraq,

Memory of them will always last

They sleep in the hot desert,

With the wind blowing sand in their faces

I will keep them in memory forever,

For the freedom they have found

When they stepped on the mine,

And they know no more

To Heaven they go,

They will be remembered for standing so tall

The fallen hero in Iraq,

Fighting and always looking behind their backs

Sometimes they do not get enough to eat

Just sand in their mouths, and pain that they meet

In memory of the fallen hero in Iraq today

I want to thank the many who have gone away

If I could I would put a stone memorial, with all your names

You have given me my freedom, the price you paid

I want to blow a trumpet in honor of the great men you are

With your families now bringing up the little ones

Who look like you from the start. You are our fallen heroes

The people in America will not forget your heart.
