Do not forget us

Learn from us

Pray for us

Remember us

Do not forget we who went fighting

Thought it would be fun, patriotic

We died on this day

On this very special day

We were covered in mud, rain

there was no birdsong

only the sound of guns and shells.

One landed in our trench

Learn from us

Learn from the war

War is not a game

We lost many friends, family

Down in the Somme

Lost forever on the wind

Our souls left to drift

through the trees and the graves

learn from this

war brings no peace

Pray for us

We who lost our lives

Pray for the families

Devastated by the bombs

Their boys not coming home

But when you pray for us

Pray for all who were in the war

Pray for our enemies

Pray for the Germans

Pray for them

Remember us

When we are gone

When all is left but whispers on the wind

Remember us

So we might live

One in your memories

Remember us

Because otherwise we died for nought

Do not forget us

Learn from us

Pray for us

Remember us
