Remember in our callow youth
We chose that we would fight for truth
Became a solider for the cause
From posters that we saw on walls
The crowds that waved us on our way
Knew nothing of the price we'd pay.
Those comrades who were by our side
Did not return - so many died
When horror, fear and death did loom
Our broken minds became a tomb
In waking dreams that draw us back
Those battles we still re-enact
Gone is the youth we might have known
We never really came back home.
