Blessed Are the Peacemakers

Blessed are those who bring peace to the world
Always by sacrifice, sometimes at the edge of a sword
But for good men to kill, to save strangers far away
That is a sacrifice only good men can make.

It changes the heart, it changes the mind,
it colors the soul, and takes a toll
But good men who fight evil and with little to gain
for any but those, who they have chosen to save.

Blessed are those who bring peace at great cost
And count the toll in the lives of their friends yet carry on till the end
Where freedom and liberty, purchased with the blood of our heroes
stains the sands and the streets in far away lands.

Perhaps in the present day, that sacrifice is unknown
but the blood of heroes tints time, and time never knows
Except that in time, the heroes are lifted up in the hearts and minds
of those born into the liberty and freedom only heroes bring to be.

Blessed are those who sacrifice all and everything
to bring the peace, who serve as the willing hands
of a greatful nation, in a distant land, so far away.

Blessed are the men and women, who serve, who fight
who build, who feel the burning need for freedom in their bones
With courage, heart, and soul... blessed are our heroes.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God."

I may have put this on FR somewhere at some point, but it was probably in the comments of another thread.

Enjoy.
