OH MR. WAR MEMORIAL
©1990 - music and words by John R. Black, ℗ 42nd Street Music Seattle
There you are solid stone
Names of soldiers forever burned
Deep inside your memory
So many there forever gone
Who gave their lives so we'd live on
Names burned in solid stone
You've heard the many voices cry
Each every asking why
Love and sorrow hard lessons to learn
(Chorus:)
Oh Mr. War Memorial
How are your boys today
Tell them we miss them
They died so far away
Oh Mr. War Memorial
You are so great and strong
Tell them all we're crying
We're so sorry they are gone
There you are solid stone
A monument that stands alone
Dark against the deep grey sky
Their sacrifice was supreme
They died to give life to the dream
To the cause of peace and liberty
On the battlefield day and night
They fought to champion the right
Peace and freedom hard lessons to learn
(Chorus)
