Months had passed and it turned cold 
F        C              G 
Orders arrived with his date to ship 
F           Am             G 
His friends called it his "Senior Trip"

Oh Sweet Lord please keep him safe 
Bm                   A              D 
Don't you know we're asking in your name 
G         A            D         G 
Please protect us from our fears today 
Bm             A                 D 
Bring him home alive and safe we pray

He wrote letters as time allowed 
F         Am        G 
About his training, we were so proud

F              C        G 
Still read his letters, staring at the date 
F                Am       G 
What happen that morning, only speculate 
F               C         G 
Hardest time we had after getting the call 
F              Am            G 
Seeing Bobby's name engraved on that wall

The years have passed and we miss him still

Forever our Bobby, at peace on the hill
