Veteran's Day

(album: Bohemian - 2011)

This is to all who find themselves
Not playing on the old school yard
Running for their lives and not much else
To the drumming of their own desperate hearts
To the drumming of their own desperate hearts

It's blood and bullets now on our minds
The times they never change that much
Come a day we'll honor all those who died
And remember the less fortunate ones
Remember the less fortunate ones

Let us pray as the day goes dark
White gloves, polish and flowers in the park
March the main streets and the boulevards
On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day

The sky tries smiling
Painted up dry leaves flying
I can't stop wishing a rainbow

Before the last flood washes over us
To leave us here on this sweet ground
Once more join together and celebrate
And remember all that could have been
Remember all that could have been

Let us pray as the day goes dark
White gloves, polish and flowers in the park
March the main streets and the boulevards
On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day
