Bryan Adams-Remembrance Day
Our weekly selection for the Music club this week, is a video made to the music of Bryan Adams Remembrance Day.
The song appeared on his 1987 recording Into the Fire.
It's a poignant tribute of remembrance to those who gave their lives in the service of their nation. Making the ultimate sacrifice for us to live in freedom.
Lest we forget
Remembrance Day
Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance 1987
For our King and our country and the promise of glory
We came from Kingston and Brighton to fight on the front line
Just lads from the farms and boys from the cities
Not meant to be soldiers we lay in the trenches
We'd face the fighting with a smile - or so we said
If only we had known what danger lay ahead
The sky turned to grey as we went into battle
On the fields of Europe young men were fallin'
I'll be back for you someday - it won't be long
If I can just hold on 'til this bloody war is over
The guns will be silent
On Remembrance Day
There'll be no more fighting
On Remembrance Day
By September of '18 Cambrai had fallen
Soon the war would be over and we'd be returnin'
Don't forget me while I'm gone far away
Well it won't be long 'til I'm back there in your arms again
One day soon - I don't know when
You know we'll all be free and the bells of peace will ring again
The time will come for you and me
We'll be goin' home when this bloody war is ended
The guns will be silent
On Remembrance Day
We'll all say a prayer
On Remembrance Day
On Remembrance Day - say a little prayer
On Remembrance Day
Well the guns will be silent
There'll be no more fighting
Oh we'll lay down our weapons
On Remembrance Day
Artist-Bryan Adams
