A call to them all
A CALL TO THEM ALL:
BY Joshua Dykes
There are many men who rise and stand tall,
And there are also many men who act as fools and thus fall
There is but one word to define these men twice,
And it is the word 'Sacrifice'.
There are rare men who stand tall and fall,
And this is a call to them all.
O' men who have lived such wonderful lives,
men who have also carried many pains and strifes,
Listen to the words I am fixin' to tell you!
Or else bid your legacy adieu!
The very definition of bravery to me
is sacrificing oneself to set another free.
See, to you bravery may be easy to achieve
but would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for me?
Would you be willing to rise
And would you be willing to fall?
So that I can live my life free
and so you can keep your legacy?
Keep fighting and stand tall!
To these rare men, A call to them all!
