See how the little children play, Always a game of war

Never do they realize, What’s gone before

How can the debt be paid, To those, warriors they never met

Many died for them to live, Lest we forget

From e’vry walk they came to give, From e’vry corner too

Gathered to defend the right, for me and you. They fought alone in clear blue sky

Trench and the salty spray, Strangers all to those they spared

Who live today. We shall remember, We will recall

Heroes who gave their lives, Answering the call.

Give them the peace in heaven, Lord, They were denied on earth

Father rest their souls on high, Such is their worth.

We who remain to gather here, Sad that they’re lost but yet

They’ll have life within our hearts, Lest we forget, Lest we forget.

Lord hear our voices raised in song, Praise be to Thee on high

Help us in our hour of need, When it comes nigh

Show them O Lord that nothings changed,

After the battle’s won. In the stillness let me hide,

Thy will be done. We shall remember, We will recall,

Heroes who gave their lives Answering the call.

This cannot be the path of man, How could it ever be.

For the way of loneliness Is hard to see.

Let not the lives of those who’ve passed

Dim ‘though their sun has set. Father, hear us here on earth

Lest we forget.
