Old soldiers talk about the battles fought |
|
To build a better world for me and you. |
|
They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true. |
|
Now they're forgotten men remembered by so few. |
|
But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago. |
|
The war is over. The battle's won but what is there to show? |
|
Side by side they marched together fighting so their children |
|
Could be free, |
|
To build a better world, a new society |
|
All classes unified to live in harmony |
|
Now the war is over so let's forget and leave the past alone. |
|
The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home. |
|
Rich men, poor men make history, |
|
Fighting for the land of hope and glory |
|
A nation's voice will sing as one, |
|
A battle cry until we've won |
|
The was is over and the patriotic comrades are no more. |
|
The war is over |
|
Now they're going home to live just like before. |
|
Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment. |
|
Tears of joy to hide the sorrow, |
|
New tomorrows till we meet again, |
|
With a new world to build we'll say auf weidersein. |
|
What did they do for us? |
|
What did it prove to us? |
|
As we stand beside the silent grave |
|
The unknown soldier can't be saved. |
|
The war is over |
|
The war is over, it's time for all the soldiers to go home. |
|
The war is over. |
