I have never cried so many tears
In the length and breadth of all my years
As I did then in that foreign land
On the heights above a beach of sand.
Ten thousand crosses rise in your sight
Lustrous shining in days brilliant light
Row upon row where the eye may fall
Each one had answered his country’s call.
It’s a sacred place you can’t forget
The sight of which will share deep regret
We haven’t learned how to really live
In God’s world of peace, pray and forgive !
