The preacher bowed and turned to go

He threw some dirt into a hole

He wasn't needed anymore

He shrugged and cast away the cold

He rearranged his preachers clothes

The word of god is all he knows

Precious boy so young and fair

Guarding castles in the air

Pretty flowers in sweet array

Picked to die and fade away



Message from heaven

Sun in the sky

Message from heaven

News from on high



God bless the solder and his gun

Small sacrifice then justice done

He's every broken mothers son

Pretty flowers in sweet array

Picked to die and fade away



Message from heaven

Sun in the sky

Message from heaven

News from on High

Message from heaven

Sun in the sky

Message from heaven



Message from heaven

Message from heaven

Message from heaven



He threw some words into the air

He spoke the pain we all must share

How we will meet again out there



Precious boy so young and fair

Guarding castles in the air

Pretty flowers in sweet array

Picked to die and fade away



Precious boy so young and fair

Guarding castles in the air

Pretty flowers in sweet array,

Picked to die and fade away
