They bid tearful goodbyes, tears dripping from their eyes Remember them fighting for our freedom Farewell to family, financés, and futures Husbands, protectors at home, now protect in a land unknown Remember them fighting for our freedom Ypres, Passchendaele, Vimy Ridge They marched across the land They made the enemy fall Through the trenches they did crawl Remember them fighting for our freedom Loss of life no words can describe Rats, lice, and exhaustion plagued the brave who fought and obeyed Remember them fighting for our freedom Finally, the armistice came, The victory was theirs They marched home in pairs Remember them fighting for our freedom Not all made it home, but their memory still lives on today We wear a poppy on Remembrance Day Remember them fighting for our freedom
