Twenty One Steps Arlington where our unknown soldier lies The place to honor those who gave their lives Those that died that generations be free May we remember them through eternity This Unknown Soldier guarded day and night By the choice of a few and with all their might To show mankind their respect and dignity To those who defended our lives and liberty Twenty one steps, he takes twenty one steps Eyes locked in honor for the soldier he guards And twenty one seconds before he turns To honor the soldiers who never returned Twenty one steps until the end of time For our lost soldiers we cannot find They gave their lives for you and me The price paid to preserve our dignity So let's take twenty one steps, just twenty one steps Lock our eyes in honor for our soldiers that died And think for twenty one seconds about their sacrifice To preserve our freedom and our children's lives.     © Copyright Thomas Holmquist.
