I never thought that this is where I'd settle down, I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown, They gave me this plot of land, Me and some other men, for a job well done, There's a big white house sits on a hill just up the road, The man inside he cried the day they brought me home, They folded up a flag And told my mom and dad, we're proud of your son Chorus: And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property, I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company, I'm thankful for those things I've done, I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington I remember Daddy brought me here when I was eight, We searched all day to find out where my granddad lay, And when we finally found that cross, He said, "Son this is what it cost to keep us free" Now here I am, a thousand stones away from him, He reconized me on the first day i came in, And it gave me a chill when he clicked his heels, and saluted me. And I'm proud to be on this peaceful piece of property, I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company, I'm thankful for those things I've done, I can rest in peace, I'm one of the chosen ones, I made it to Arlington And everytime I hear twenty-one guns, I know they brought another hero home to us Yeah dust to dust, Don't cry for us, We made it to Arlington ------------- TasunkaWitko - Chinook, Montana  Helfen, Wehren, Heilen Die Wahrheit wird euch frei machen |
