Tell Them

Go to the wall and read the names Go to the wall and stand Go to the wall and shed a tear For those that saved our land. Stand by the wall and read the dates Stand by the wall and cry Stand by the wall and realise it’s now That men and women die. Trace your finger on a map of the world Trace your finger on stone Trace your finger over your heart For we don’t fight alone Tell them it’s not just history Tell them of our sorrow Tell them it’s still happening now Sacrifice for our tomorrow Go to the wall and wear your poppy Go to the wall and pray Go to the wall and shed a tear For war won’t go away.
