Our Brave Boys

In a foreign land They fight the foe But who they are Do we really know The politicians say … But is it really so Our brave boys They fight and die For freedom’s cause In support of whose Archaic laws Come soon the time When we withdraws Our brave boys A mother’s son Does his bit Patriotic To the hilt But what’s it’s worth At the end if it for Our brave boys A politician’s gain Or freedom found Our soldier boys Of stark renown When will you be Homeward bound Our brave boys From me I thank you For what you have done For my freedom’s sake Those battles won I salute you My old son Our brave boys. ©Michael Birchmore 2008
