Bryan Adams - Remembrance Day

Bryan Adams - Remembrance Day

For our king and our country and the promise of glory.
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line.

Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities.
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches.

We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said.
If only we had known what danger lay ahead.

The sky turned to grey as we went into battle.
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'

I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long.
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over.

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day.
There'll be no more fighting on Remembrance Day.

By October of 18 Cambrai had fallen.
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'

Don't forget me while I'm gone far away.
Well it won't be long 'till I'm back there in your arms again.

One day soon - I don't know when.
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again.

The time will come for you and me.
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended.

The guns will be silent on Remembrance Day.
We'll all say a prayer on Remembrance Day.

On Remembrance Day - say a little prayer.
On Remembrance Day.

Well the guns will be silent.
There'll be no more fighting.
Oh we'll lay down our weapons.
On Remembrance Day.
