We've heard the song of Flanders Fields That soldiers' fears were not concealed. We stand in silence once every year Our gratitude then is very clear. On Remembrance Day I bow my head Giving thanks to the living and the dead. But what do we do the rest of our lives? Do we just forget and close our eyes? We need to remember their history And not let it become a mystery. The poppies we wear are a vibrant red To remind us of all the blood they shed. With dignity they took their stand Beside each other, hand in hand. Then they traveled off to war Our very lives they were fighting for. While in war they fought their best When they were faced with the hardest test. Some came back, others did not But either way, they strongly fought. All of the loss they had to endure Their blessed actions very pure. The soldiers stories will never fade Our debt can never be repaid. As we stand here to bow and pray We remember those who died today. And to all of the soldiers that gave up their lives May your legacy forever survive.
