we will remember you
christopher cross
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
it seems our noble country
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
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!
and though we bow our heads
we're praying for the day
praying for peace on earth
