Everywhere they gathered on that day Poppies worn with pride And in a land torn apart by hate People came to pray It was a time of hope, a time of peace A time for change But in a moment all was raised to the ground Could it ever be the same Some Mothers son or daughter lay in wait And blew some mothers child away And every dream we dream We have to pay the price In Gods name what have we become
On rememberance day Through the hell a father dug with bare hands Still standing firm in his belief He asked forgiveness for one's who taken life I'm sure I heard the heavens cry And as the grey reality of violence leaves its scar The pictures tell their story more than words A sense of survival might teach us all we know But there's another way for voices to be heard Some mothers son or daughter lay in wait And blew some mothers child away And every dream we dream we have to pay the price In God's name what have we become
On remembrance day On remembrance day
Outro: I pray they find a peace In a great and proud land Where their sons and daughters Will walk hand in hand And all hearts will beat To the sound of one drum When the streets no more Echo the gun
