Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be.
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We were all meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey is quicker,
For some, the journey is slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

There will be a great encampment
In the land of clouds today.
A mingling and a merging
Of our boys who’ve gone away.
Though on earth they are disbanding,
They are very close and near,
For these brave and honored heroes
Show no sorrow, shed no tear.
They have lived a life of glory,
History pins their medals high,
Listen to the thunder rolling,
They are marching in the sky!
