Goliad Lyrics

Brian Burns Goliad

I am proud to be in your presence tonight,
fellow Texians, lend me your ear;
was the grace of God brought us through the fight,
and it is destiny now brings us here.

Let us take off our hats to our brothers in arms
and the chances that they never had.
We are blessed in the bounty of Texas tonight,
let us drink to those who marched that road to Goliad.

Oh, I see the toil on each weary brow,
but I know better days lie ahead
where great men will build empires from the soil
where the blood of our compadres was shed.

So let us send out our hearts to our brothers in arms
and the choices that they never had.
We are blessed in the bounty of Texas tonight,
let us drink to those who marched that road to Goliad.
