A national hero was buried today
Hallelujah and Amen
Not only a hero but also a man
Who’s life was of honor and serving the land
That he loved so much; in her grace he did stay
Hallelujah and Amen
A national statesman was buried today
Hallelujah and Amen
All those in the Senate, when he made a stand,
All knew he was honest, with lines in the sand
Not voting convenience; that wasn’t his way
Hallelujah and Amen
A man twice defeated was buried today
Hallelujah and Amen
To Presidents Bush and Obama he lost
In dignity praised them at personal cost
And chose them for eulogies memorial day
Hallelujah and Amen
My very own senator to rest was lain
Hallelujah and Amen
‘Though not of my party; I disagreed much
He, still I respected, his down to earth touch
God bless you and keep you Sen. John McCain
Hallelujah and Amen
