Will they call them heroes, if they die?
Will they call them heroes, if they die?
Will they send them flowers when they’re up above?
Will the World stop the wars and be at peace?
Will they know how others seek their love?
As they stopped a bullet that went astray?
Will they call them heroes, if they die?
Will they be placed upon an Altar where others may see?
Will their medals show how they were brave?
Will the World stop the wars and be at peace?
Will a cross be placed above their graves?
And will their spirit in prayer now be free?
Will they call them heroes, if they die ?
Will the poppies fall from the sky ?
Will a guard of honour aim their rifles in the air ?
Will the World stop the wars and be at peace ?
Will the heart-break always be there ?
And will the Government tell us why ?
Will they call them heroes, if they die ?
