FIELD OF FLAGSCopyright 2007, L. Crosby At the closing ceremony Luanne Crosby sang “Field of Flags” a song she wrote when the flags were displayed at her church in Westborough. This was the second Field of Flags service at which Luanne performed this moving and powerful tribute song.
Field of flags before our eyes Waving like a last goodbye A mother’s tears, a father’s cries A field of flags
Each flag speaks of one who lived One with so much more to give So much promise yet to come Someone’s daughter, someone’s son
Field of flags before our eyes Waving like a last goodbye A spouse’s tears, a child’s cries A field of flags
War takes the young but touches all The world weeps when a soldier falls But shame must tinge our heartfelt grief Till humankind can live in peace
Field of flags before our eyes Waving like a last goodbye A sibling’s tears, a best friend’s cries A field of flags
Each flag for one who went to war Like others who have gone before Like others who did not return To families who’ll forever yearn
Field of flags before our eyes Waving like a last goodbye An uncle’s, aunt’s and cousin’s cries A field of flags
Here together now are we Honoring their memory Let’s swear that we will not forget We are forever in their debt
Field of flags before our eyes Waving like a last goodbye A lover’s tears, a neighbor’s cries A field of flags A family’s tears, a nation’s cries A field of flags A field of lives
