The sun's shining down on these green fields of France
|

|
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
|
||||||
|
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
|
||||||
|
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
|
||||||
|
But here in this graveyard that's still no mans land
|
||||||
|
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
|
||||||
|
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
|
||||||
|
And a whole generation were butchered and damned

Do all those who lie here know why they died

Did you really believe them when they told you the cause

Did you really believe that this war would end wars

Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame

The killing and dying it was all done in vain

Oh Willy McBride it all happened again

And again, and again, and again, and again
