HONOUR OUR
VETERANS
REMEMBRANCE DAY - Bryan Adams
(from "Into the Fire" A&M 1987)
For our king and our country, and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front lines
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers, we lay in the trenches
We'd face the fighting with a smile ... or so we said
If only we had known what danger lay ahead
The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'
I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
If I can just hold on `til the bloody war is over
The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting - on Remembrance
Day
By October of `18 Cambrai had fallen
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returning
Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Well, it won't be long `til I'm back there in your arms again
The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting - on Remembrance Day
One day soon I don't know when
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring
again
The time will come for you and me
We'll be going home when this bloody war has ended
The guns will be silent - on Remembrance Day
We'll all say a prayer - on Remembrance Day
... on Remembrance Day ...
... say a little prayer ...
... on Remembrance Day ...
Well, the guns will be silent
There'll be no more fighting
We'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day
... on Remembrance Day ...

Lay Me Down
Like a small child
I held him in my arms,
his body torn and
broken from the long
days and sleepless
nights of fighting.
With final breath he
asked me to lay him down:
away from the hatred
and the sorrow,
away from what his
tired eyes had witnessed.
The still and quiet of
death
is what he wanted now...
And later, lowering
his wilted body into
the soil’s embrace, I longed
for the stricken fields to be
lush and green
once again.
Then he would rest in peace
surrounded by the beauty
and serenity for
which he had given
his life.
I bid my final
farewell.
Too many gone. So many
left behind.
