[00:20.59]
[00:21.84]I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown'
[00:25.78]
[00:26.96]They gave me this plot of land' me and some other men' for a job well done'
[00:35.32]
[00:37.13]There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road'
[00:42.64]
[00:43.64]The man inside he cried the day they brought me home'
[00:47.58]
[00:48.89]They folded up a flag and told my mom and dad' we're proud of your son
[00:57.28]
[00:58.96]And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property'
[01:02.97]

[01:25.59]
[01:30.59]I remember daddy brought me here when I was eight'
[01:35.03]
[01:36.84]We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay'
[01:41.34]
[01:42.15]And when we finally found that cross'
[01:45.15]He said' "son this is what it cost to keep us free" Now here I am'
[01:54.07]A thousand stones away from him'
[01:57.25]
[01:58.88]He recognized me on the first day I came in'
[02:03.13]
[02:04.19]And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels' and saluted me.
[02:11.88]
[02:14.33]And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property'
[02:18.20]
[02:19.58]I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company'

[02:43.56]
[02:46.49]And everytime I hear twenty-one guns'
[02:51.25]
