You gave your life for all of us   And all humanity                                                                     [Verse 6] As I stand here at your graveside The spring birds sing their song    My child I love you more and more And will my whole life long      [Refrain] You were called to serve the country     You were called to serve the king      And from our home you left one day And of this today we sing                                                       Ah     ah   ah    ah    ah  ah    ah
