» Morning breaks on Beach Haven shore.
[0:25]
Golden light
through windows and open doors.
[0:32]
Flags are dancing
in the salt air breeze.
[0:39]
Church bells echo
softly through the trees.
[0:46]
Bikes down Bay Avenue begin
to roll.
[0:54]
Coffee cups in hand,
familiar souls.
[1:01]
Boats are rocking gently
in the harbor light.
[1:07]
Freedom lives in moments
just like
[1:12]
tonight.
But before the laughter,
[1:18]
before summer starts,
we pause together
[1:25]
with grateful
hearts.
[1:30]
Beach Haven remembers,
proud and true,
[1:33]
beneath the red,
the white, and blue.
[1:37]
From the ocean waves to the base soft
lights,
[1:42]
we honor the brave here tonight. Raise
your voices, let freedom ring
[1:48]
in every prayer
we speak today.
[1:51]
On this silent shore where memories
remain,
[1:55]
we thank the heroes
who carried the pain.
[2:06]
Children laughing on the sidewalks
near.
[2:13]
Families
gathering
[2:17]
year after year.
Yet empty chairs still quietly remain
[2:24]
for those whose sacrifice can't be
explained.
[2:31]
From the yachts at the marina sails held
high to sunsets burning low across the
[2:37]
sky. Every freedom that we hold so dear
was purchased by the brave who brought
[2:44]
us here. So before the fireworks paint
the night, we stand together in
[2:51]
candlelight.
[2:55]
Each heaven remembers proud and true
beneath the red,
[3:00]
the white and blue. From the ocean waves
to the base of the lights,
[3:06]
we honor the brave here tonight. Raise
your voices, let freedom stand
[3:13]
in every prayer we speak today.
On this hallowed soil where memories
[3:19]
remain, we thank the heroes
WHO CARRIED the pain.
[3:39]
Every wave upon the shoreline knows the
names of courage carried IN ITS FLOW.
[3:46]
EVERY bell that rings across this town
calls us to remember those laid down and
[3:53]
when the stars shine over little lake
tonight
[3:59]
may heaven hold our heroes in its light.
[4:07]
» May heaven remember forever true
>> beneath the red,
[4:12]
the white, AND BLUE.
>> FROM BAY
[4:15]
AVENUE to the oceanside, we carry on
memories
[4:20]
» with endless pride.
>> Let freedom
[4:23]
ring across the summer sky.
>> With grateful hearts
[4:27]
and tear-filled
>> eyes on
[4:29]
this Memorial Day,
our voices say
[4:37]
thank you for the gift
of the American way.
