Tell my father that his son didn’t run or surrender. That I bore his name with pride as I tried to remember you are judged by what you do while passing through. As I rest ‘neath fields of green, let him lean on my shoulder Tell him how I spent my youth so the truth could grow older Tell my father when you can, I was a man. Tell him we will meet again where the angels learn to fly. Tell him we will meet as men, for with honor did I die. Tell him how I wore the blue, proud and true, through the fire. Tell my father so he’ll know, I love him so. Tell him we will meet again where the angels learn to fly. Tell him we will meet as men, for with honor did I die. Tell him how I wore the blue, proud and true, the way he taught me. Tell my father not to cry, then say goodbye.

What a privilege it was to be a part of this performance. I'm still impressed and blown away and the quality of this performance. Chills.

I am a senior in Highschool. We are singing this song for our final concert. It makes me tear up every time because I remember my cousin I lost in Afghanistan just 3 years ago.

I was lucky enough to sing this song with 120 men and it was the most beautiful thing I've very done

Listen to this song on repeat. Just put it on a playlist all by itself and hit the loop button and appreciated it EVERY TIME...

Am writing a screenplay about US GRANT. He would have wept had he heard this! 340,000 Union soldiers died. ( They paid our reparations.) Every fourth house, cabin, farm or apartment lost a man. We were a small country then. I wish you would make an album. Thank you so much. God bless.

The first time I heard this song I broke down crying because it's so touching. Really a wonderful version.

This is absolutely the best rendition of this sacred song. I hope the current students are as sublime as this. I keep coming back to this for several years now. This should be sung by every chorus in every HS and college.

I have been looking all over to find a version of this song being performed by a good choir! Its a shame this doesn't have more views as I feel that it's probably the best version on KZfaq. Great stuff!

So beautiful, what a beautiful country we live in I am so thankful .

I'm 11 and doing this in middle school. Greatest teacher ever. Also doing can you teach me. Immediate cry

I'm a 8th grader. I think I'm the only one in our men's choir that absolutely loves this and can't wait to sing it on Saturday

For one of the concerts at my school the men's section of our choir sang this and everyone cried-- including the guys singing it.

This piece of music is one of the most beautiful things I've heard..... speechless..

I joined the SCSU men's choir last night and we rehearsed this briefly. It sounded incredible and had to look it up when I got home. I can't wait to perform this.

This song is so beautiful. The men of my schools choir program sang this tonight at our concert and I was tearing up on stage. Such a beautiful song.

I'm in men chorus at Wichita east high. we sang this song at a different school for a contest. We made most of the other singing chorus cried!

the men's choir at my school sang this this morning during our Veteran's Day assembly… took everything in me not to become a sobbing mess.

Lik if u cry evry tim

The boys in my choir are going to sing this, I heard it in choir and it made me cry. I love this song, it's gorgeous, ahhh.

The band students were sitting in the auditorium today... The chorus came in and started practicing this song... I had to try so hard not to cry.

Wow, I have not gotten chills like that in a long time. This song holds a special place with me. My high school summer theatre program did that as their musical my Senior year. I played Captain Lochran. This was always one of my favorites. Love Frank Wildhorn music.

If you love GREAT music and need a little inspiration then take a listen to this beauty. wow.

The men's choir at my school sang this at our concert tonight, and it was the first time I had heard it. By the end of it, I was full on sobbing only minutes before I had to go on stage

This is absolutely amazing! Masterful.

The guys in every choir is singing this song for our Veterans day assembly. And they performed it for concert choir today and the girls cried. it was amazing

No lie, the first time I was singing this for practice I cried. A lot. It was probably the most I've ever cried and for the longest time. This song has so much meaning to me partially because I can imagine myself singing this song for my father word for word with complete honesty. It is a lovely song.

Tell my father... That this song and this performance are simply incredible.

who would dislike this very beautiful song!!!

I sang this song this year, my senior year, at a men's choral work shop up in Chattanooga Tennessee, this song shot me right through the heart, and I cried like a baby while singing it,I sang tenor. This is song is just so powerful.

What a wonderful piece of music and such a professional performance

Our men's chorus is singing this and it is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It sends such a powerful story and I try my best not to cry considering we have to perfom in front of people as well.

When I​ sang this in a concert hall with my men's choir almost all 1500 people were at least teary-eyed.

This performance is the sole most prominent reason I'm proud to be a Kansan

Our male choir (me included) is performing this song for our remembrance day assembly for our school, hoping it will be pretty decent.

Just surfing KZfaq for something to do with fathers and came across this and I'm glad I did. That was beautiful.

I'm doing this in my high school choir one of the most beutify like songs I've ever heard

The Colorado Middle School All state men's choir sang this and my god, I sobbed the first time I heard it in dress rehearsal. So beautiful.

Legend High School in Colorado is singing it and I cant wait i'm a tenor and i love it we are singing it for veterans day since our winter concert is close to veterans day.

This is the best version on KZfaq. I'm just so disappointed they didn't use a soloist at the beginning! It adds so much to the emotion.

The man choir at my school sang this song and everyone teared up.

I remember my choir teacher showing us this, and the men’s choir sang this and I cried. Such honor in this song, it’s beautiful 😍

I loved to listen to this song and can't wait to perform it for our concert. It's such a beautiful peace, and is choir performed it lovely.

I'm doing this song in boys choir and I'm in 5th grade. Our music teacher says we sound great.

The men of my community choir did this piece recently, and since then I've been rambling around youtube listening to different renditions. I think this is the finest of them all, ensemble or solo. Bravo, gentlemen.

My choir sung it and the crowd went crazy because we did it so good!

Simple mais magnifique interprétation. Ni emphase ni pathos, le chant vient du coeur. Bravo pour la flûte et le piano ! Point n'est besoin d'orchestration écrasante pour faire passer émotion et talent. Simple but beautiful interpretation. Neither emphasis nor pathos, the song comes from the heart. Bravo for the flute and the piano! no need for overwhelming orchestration to convey emotion and talent.

People in my honor choir along with some high schoolers sung this and sounded about as good. love this song

made me cry....so beautiful

Beautiful

Can't wait for the Men's Varsity at my school to sing this.

I literally cannot sing our listen to this song without crying. I'm not going to make it through spring concert this year

This songs is gorgeous!

I was just bawling today while singing this for choir.

I'm no good at this... anything social really yet I always really enjoy reading comments on songs like this so I thought I might try to share this feeling. I am going to sing this song soon and I can not be more excited and nervous. And I keep listening to it over and over to make perfect. If you are also singing this song give me some tips and comment to help me.

Beautiful. Sang the same arrangement in men's select choir in high school. Love it.

some of the guys from my high school took this to state as an ensemble and got a 1 it was good

My all west junior high choir rocked this :)

Makes me cry every time .

This is why I think this song should never be sang as a solo. Wow

the men's chorus at my school did this. cries.

Still... he's just, sitting there... o.O

My choir is going to d.c. and we're singing this

Such an amazing song!

Fucking awesome. Brings tears to my eyes.

I agree! They are very good.
