Be
kind when you speak of the many brave souls
Who gave their all at the Alamo
With odds stacked as many as twenty to one
The outcome foregone when the battle was done.
And when the small fortress, at last overrun, with
No prisoners taken, all is undone.
The beast, Santa Ana, no clemency lends
As his horrible hoard on the mission descends.
And Crockett and Bowie and Travers and friends
Are doomed from the start to their ill-fated end.
Heroes and villains and legends are made
As leaders emerge to conduct the crusade.
And karma evokes a dear price to be paid
When cannons erupt in intense fusillade.
And while San Jacinto’s fate softens the blow
In bringing an end to this imbroglio,
When heroes are needed to make out pride glow
We will always remember
The Alamo.

Who gave their all at the Alamo
Against
an overwhelming foe
To
win their freedom in Mexico. With odds stacked as many as twenty to one
The outcome foregone when the battle was done.
And when the small fortress, at last overrun, with
No prisoners taken, all is undone.
The beast, Santa Ana, no clemency lends
As his horrible hoard on the mission descends.
And Crockett and Bowie and Travers and friends
Are doomed from the start to their ill-fated end.
Heroes and villains and legends are made
As leaders emerge to conduct the crusade.
And karma evokes a dear price to be paid
When cannons erupt in intense fusillade.
And while San Jacinto’s fate softens the blow
In bringing an end to this imbroglio,
When heroes are needed to make out pride glow
We will always remember
The Alamo.
