For Future Generations
Four men stood carrying, one man who was dead
And laid him to rest with his friends, in a shed
A nurse sat weeping, her hands on her head
For the living she mourned, no time for the dead
A man ran out of HQ, stumbled, fell over
He smiled, then shouted, the war is over
The nurse stood and waved, and grabbed the man
The four men ran cheering, and heartily sang
There was silence, not a sound from inside the shed
They once had their lives, now they are our dead
The wars, the suffering, we all deeply regret
Their memories are now yours, less you forget
