After the guns fell silent After the wounds have healed
(The opening words from a song)
The wounds in their flesh heal But the wounds in their minds Remain for eternity
Why do they do it? Answer the call Whenever their countries have need It's not politicians who answer the call It not politicians who bleed No, it's the boys and girls from their countries so fair Who die in the name of liberty Eight thousand miles away from home To keep another country free
