Live On (the Wall) Lyrics

Crosby & Nash Live On (the Wall)

I can't say we won the war
But I can say we survived
Unlike some of your close friends
Who died standing by your side

Did they serve their country well
Fighting in a winless war?
Soldiers on both sides can't tell
What it is they're fighting for

What were they dying for?
I guess somebody lied
And families felt the pain
As many mothers cried

And when we bought into the lie
Who was counting up the cost?
Underneath the foreign sky
So many lives were lost

Their memory will live on, live on
The wall and all its casualties live on, live on
Carved in stone for all to see live on, live on

Serve to remind us all of the soldiers who have died
And the names upon the wall
Forever carved in stone, the names of those who died
The soldiers on the wall
