On Remembrance Day Lyrics

How do you say thank you

To men and women who risked their lives

So selflessly

To secure our freedom, our peace

And our prosperity?

How do you say thank you

To those who bravely charged right through

That most terrible endeavor

Surrounded by death and carnage

Seeing things that changed their lives

Forever?

How do you say thank you

To those who went through all this with the belief

That their one life

Whether lost or saved, could make a difference

Had to make a difference, for our sake

The generation they had not yet met?

How do you say thank you

To those who had such faith in us

Before we were even born

Faith that we'd become

People worth fighting for

Worth dying for?

How do you say thank you?

You honour their sacrifice

With your own life

You go to war against your faults and failures

With all your might

You conquer things inside you

That make this world an ugly curse

You fight to make the space

You touch a better place

Not worse

You win the battle for your soul

You be good, and do good, and just

Live your life selflessly

Remembering

That they laid down their lives.. for us

You live your life so well

That those who went through that hell

Look on you with pride, never afraid

Never feeling for a moment

That you weren't worth the price they paid
