Lyrics
They wake before the morning light
The hush before the bird takes flight
No cameras flash, no bands will play
But still, they rise and fly today
To where the monuments rise
Where memory lives and silence replies
For every name etched in stone
They come so none stand alone
With steady hearts and open eyes
They fly where the monuments rise
The years have lined each quiet face
They stand in awe of sacred space
They lay a hand on names they knew
And speak the words they never could
To where the monuments rise
Where memory lives and silence replies
For every name etched in stone
They come so none stand alone
With steady hearts and open eyes
They fly where the monuments rise
Not for glory, not for gain
But to feel the weight and hold the flame
To touch the ground, to see it clear
To say we came, we're still here
To where the monuments rise
Where memory lives and silence replies
For every name etched in stone
They come so none stand alone
With steady hearts and open eyes
They fly where the monuments rise
They fly where the monuments rise
