Lyrics

They fought the war for us
They fought the war to help us to be free
They laid down their lives for us
They laid down their lives so we could live in peace
Returning home young lives unwind
In broken bodies, with bleeding minds
And those they leave behind to weep and grieve
Must we forget the debts due these bereaved?

No greater love exists
No one could replace the lives that they have missed
Such sacrifice can partly be redeemed
By mending broken vets and paying them esteem
Remember all we owe these souls
Remembering is no great toll
And those they leave behind to weep and grieve
We must accept all debts due these bereaved

They fight the war for us
They help us stay free to live our lives in peace
