For those who gave there lives yesterday
In ypres and mons where they stay
besides momuements where they lay
In our memorys they will stay
never ever faraway
They gave there lives for us today
a hundred years has passed away
They fought for peace in there day
leaving families behind on there way
They gave us hope in life today
That we may have freedom today
we wont forget the lives today
In our hearts there memorys will stay
In foreign fields faraway.

The boots come out and shoes will shine
people gather and await patiently
poppy are pinned to clothes for all to see
the veterans get ready and stand at ease
awaiting the order to march forward for all to see
they wear the badges and beret and medals too
with pride and honour the 11th hour is due
they assemble across the world in many great cities
to remember those who went before them and sacrificed they lives
in the name of king and queen and country
and those who have given service since the world wars
and many conflicts of today we remember them
as we march forward on this armistice day
don’t forget us when you go home
as we will always be here resting in fields and country’s so far away
we went in hope and peace and gave our lives so mercifully
for you back there so you could live in a peaceful world today
for this we honour and remember you on this remembrance day
as the last post sounds from the bugles played
comrades and veterans and family’s to children and parents
will remember loved ones too who gave so much with such pride courage and bravery for me and you
as they gave there lives for us today in far-flung fields and country’s so far away
we stand to attention and salute you the fallen the brave and the veterans too
you will be in our hearts always and in our memory’s today and forever may you rest in peace and tranquility.
a minutes silence in your memory.
