A song commemorating the importance of Remembrance Day and the sacrifice of the people in our armed forces in the past, present and future for our freedoms and way of life.

lyrics

Lest We Forget (Remembrance Day)
Words and Music by
Tom Ward
SOCAN 1992

True, we didn't know you, your face, your name.
Yet there's so much we owe you; that's why we came.
Years fade many mem'ries, yet none shall wane,
Of you and your comrades, those mem'ries remain.

And ev'ry year on Remembrance Day, we reflect on what has passed
We bow our heads in prayer and lay, your wreath on the cenotaph.
God bless you Unknown Soldier, let us honour timeless debt.
You gave your life for our freedom, Lest We Forget.

You gave all for your country, your fellow man.
Fighting for our liberty in some foreign land.
So we in silent reflection, give prayerful cry,
That no more unknown soldiers, will have to die.

And ev'ry year on Remembrance Day, we reflect on what has passed
We bow our heads in prayer and lay, your wreath on the cenotaph.
God bless you Unknown Soldier, let us honour timeless debt.
You gave your life for our freedom, Lest We Forget.

And ev'ry year on Remembrance Day, we reflect on what has passed
We bow our heads in prayer and lay, your wreath on the cenotaph.
God bless you Unknown Soldier, let us honour timeless debt.
You gave your life for our freedom, Lest We Forget.

You gave your life for our freedom, Lest We Forget
