Don't Forget
The unknown soldier beckons
Don't forget, don't forget
The lost, who somewhere lie
Don't forget, don't forget
The grieving family ties
Don't forget, don't forget
The defeated & the broken
Don't forget, don't forget
with mental scars unspoken
Don't forget, don't forget
The veteran in the street
Don't forget, don't forget
beneath his cardboard sheets
Don't forget, don't forget
And you & I, still breathing
Don't forget, don't forget
This free air from the bleeding
Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget
11th November
Time itself may fray
But, this will always be
Their Day
