Lest We Forget Lyrics

Troy Kingi Lest We Forget

[Intro]
The common man rests on the laurels of our soldier's legacy
He fought for our land and he died for His Majesty

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Freedom it don't come for free
So while you're sitting there
Spare a thought for those who paved the way
For you and me
For you and me babe
[Post-Chorus]
They will grow not old
As we that are left grow old
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We'll remember them

[Verse]
He left for a foreign land
Not knowing if he would return
Blood shed and friends lost
More fuel for mother's concern
Buried on a stranger's earth
Long list etched on a mighty stone
Eyes that will never gaze again
On the green grass and the warm sea of home
You may be gone
But not in vain man

They will grow not old
As we that are left grow old
At the going down of the sun

[Chorus]
Lest we forget
Freedom it don't come for free
So while you're sitting there
Spare a thought for those who paved the way
For you and me
For you and me babe
[Outro]
They will grow not old
As we that are left grow old
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We'll remember them
