We Remember

We Remember

November 11, the day we remember
Those who died long ago on that bloody battlefield
On shore of far off land, away from home
Fighting a battle unknown, for allies who were foreign
The colonies, the countries, the ties that bind
Sent forth its men, money and machinery
To defend the shores of that small country
Red are the poppy, red is the blood
Red was the mark where you all fell on the dirt
Red are the poppy that sways in the wind
Standing strong on that dirt, proud and tall
