Forever young your faces be
As bright as the stars your blessed souls be
Immortality’s youth, serene and care-free
Forever young your faces be
Forever young your voices be
Transcend through the noise, so wondrously free
Not trapped in the storm and terror’s cold screams
Forever young your voices be
Forever young your memories be
To your mothers and fathers, to your loved ones? to me
Your laughter and smiles, your passion and dreams
Forever young your memories be
As my body grows old and my thoughts escape me
As I stoop all alone in the Cenotaph’s lee
I will remember your faces from that scripted stone screen
Forever young your faces be
