Battle of Gettysburg

[Verse] Through the fields of Pennsylvania, where the wheat sways in the breeze, Three days of crimson struggle brought us soldiers to our knees. Brothers fighting brothers, oh the sorrow that we bore, On the hills and in the valleys, echoes of the cannon's roar. [Verse 2] Generals led their armies with a heavy heart and hand, The blood-stained soil beneath them, freedom’s price upon the land. Lincoln's hopes were hanging on the courage of these men, In the clamor and the chaos, would the union rise again? [Chorus] From the twilight to the dawn, through the smoke and through the tears, Shadows whisper names of all our fallen volunteers. In the heart of Gettysburg, where the spirit won’t grow old, The story of their sacrifice is worth its weight in gold. [Verse 3] Mary wept for Johnny, who would never come back home, The preacher's son and farmer's boy, forever turned to stone. Courage on that battlefield forged the dawn of a new day, In the hallowed ground they rest now, where the children come to play. [Verse 4] Banners waved above them as they stood their final stand, A lesson etched in courage for the future of our land. Though the years have carried on, their legacy remains, In the winds of Gettysburg, you can still hear their refrains. [Chorus] From the twilight to the dawn, through the smoke and through the tears, Shadows whisper names of all our fallen volunteers. In the heart of Gettysburg, where the spirit won’t grow old, The story of their sacrifice is worth its weight in gold.
