Lest We Forget

[Intro]

The common man rests on the laurels of our soldier's legacy

He fought for our land and he died for His Majesty

[Chorus]

Lest we forget

Freedom it don't come for free

So while you're sitting there

Spare a thought for those who paved the way

For you and me

For you and me babe

[Post-Chorus]

They will grow not old

As we that are left grow old

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We'll remember them

[Verse]

He left for a foreign land

Not knowing if he would return

Blood shed and friends lost

More fuel for mother's concern

Buried on a stranger's earth

Long list etched on a mighty stone

Eyes that will never gaze again

On the green grass and the warm sea of home

You may be gone

But not in vain man

They will grow not old

As we that are left grow old

At the going down of the sun

[Chorus]

Lest we forget

Freedom it don't come for free

So while you're sitting there

Spare a thought for those who paved the way

For you and me

For you and me babe

[Outro]

They will grow not old

As we that are left grow old

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We'll remember them
