The great war
Wasn't that great
9 million soldiers killed
20 million wound
Yet still these medals of courage stand tall
In my home
Watched everyday
loved and cared for
for they lived so that I may live

That great war
Wasn't so great
Where a boy aged just 12 fought for his land
Gave his present for our future
A stand we should so bow
For our shame of today

Our shame of today
Where money leads the way
Yet doesn't exist
Where profit before humanity
Rules the world
My eyes see the news
They bleed in disbelieve as the shells pour down
As ears weep to the horrors of a child's cry

The great war
Wasn't that great
Only the poppies of hope
Do stir my wishes
Of a change
Of a world without fear
A world where our leaders
Change
So the great war....
Was it that great.. after all?
