So Young, So Brave
So Young, So Brave
So many poppies all around.
Each one a cross on hallowed ground.
So many lost, some never found.
A young life in a grave.
So many sent to do their best.
Determined to fulfil their quest.
So many sadly laid to rest.
So young to be so brave.
He sees his comrade falling near.
How does he quell that gnawing fear?
When sounds of hell are all he’ll hear.
But that man’s life he’ll save.
Why do we need a dreadful war?
Do we know what the fighting’s for?
How many killed? How many more?
Is peace just a flag to wave?
So many poppies all around.
Each one a cross on hallowed ground.
So many lost, some never found.
A young life in a grave.
