Mother Of The Brave

The battlefield abandoned
Only a statue remains
A constant reminder
Of bloodshed and pains

But some have forgotten
How their freedom was won
It's a shame this reminder
Even has to be done

For those who were brave
And sacrificed their lives
For strangers unknown
Their memory survives

Remember your roots
Where you've come from
The road you traveled
What is yet to come

Don't stop to forget
The lives that were lost
For your freedom today
Had an expensive cost

So the statue will stand
As a reminder to all
Of the bravery shared
By those willing to fall

For those courageous souls
Guided to their graves
You will live forever
In the mother of the brave
