Remember this day

Remember

As across fields of earth we see
Poppies blood red give birth
We wonder at the sacrifice
That gave us life
To sing, dance and play.

As youth died in far off places
We remember
That all life owes a debt
That hands us freedom
To sing dance and play

Men who went in promise and fear
Came back scarred
Remembering those who walk no more
The ones who’s sacrifice led us to life
To sing dance and play.

Today we think of all you have done
In fields of bloody toil
And the One who died for all
Both friend and foe that all might know
The life within that sets us free
To sing dance and play.
