Freedom Road
They should never be forgotten ones
The brave young daughters and young
sons
Who gave their lives so long ago
While fighting those who were our
foe.
The world has changed; the time has past
And to some the years have gone
too fast
To totally erase the pain they found
When comrades fell on
foreign ground.
Now those of us who they died for
Must continue to stand and keep the door
Open, to honour and to show respect
Not allowing ourselves to ever
forget.
It was freedom road they did pave
So proclaim your thanks to those who
gave
As our anthem plays, sing clear and loud
And on Remembrance Day,
wear poppies proud.
