We Will Remember You
CHRISTOPHER CROSS · Secret Ladder 2014 · Track 13 of 13
I know — I know — It seems that we don't care But we bless you and your families While you're fighting over there
You set aside your own sweet dreams To heed your country's call Some of you made it home Some of you gave it all
It seems our noble country Is in one endless war And we all have our opinions About what you're fighting for
But we still need to tell you While the winds of war blow As you look that nightmare in the eye There's something you should know
We will remember you We will remember you We will remember you With love and gratitude
All of us here sit around complaining 'Bout the things we have to do But not one of us could begin to imagine The hell that you've been through
And whether or not you have returned There should be no neglect 'Cause every one of you has earned Respect! Respect! Respect!
We will remember you We will remember you We will remember you With love and gratitude
[Solo]
And though we bow our heads And say God speed you We're praying for the day When we won't need you Praying for peace on earth We will remember you
We will not forget you We will remember you We will not forget you We will remember you We will not forget you And everything you do We will remember you We will remember you We will remember you With love and gratitude
