Lest We Forget

Like giant birds of prey they took to the sky Emptying their payload from way up on high So what if it's Dresden, Berlin or Cologne Tell them of London, of England, of home. Winging their way oe'r land, sea and shore Ensuring your freedom they gave of their all. Forget all your preaching now years are long gone Objections are easy once deeds have been done Remember instead their freedom, their youth Gone in six years as they fought for you Enter their names in the log books of pride To tell them, at last, you are on their side.
