Midge Ure - Remembrance Day Lyrics
While I was standing I sawTwo men before my eyes, IsawOne man all dressed in truthThe other man was dressed in liesOne man held green and goldThe other man blue, white and redAnd they smiled as they held guns to our headsWhile I was standing I sawTwo men before my eyesWatch as the rain begins to fallLike tears from heaven on us allTo clean the sins we've madeAnd wash them away, wash them awayWhile I was standing I sawTwo countries go to war, I sawFaces of children wonderingWhat their friends were fighting forA crowd of people stood in silenceOn Remembrance Day and I criedAs they blew them all awayWhile I was standing I sawTwo men before my eyesWatch as the rain begins to fallLike tears from heaven on us allTo clean the sins we've madeAnd wash them away, wash them awayWhile I was standing I sawTwo men with one God to shareBoth wanting peace by warBoth want to win by prayerHow long before they findThis holy war a heinous sinAnd they find that there's nothing left to winDrums: Mark BrzezickiBass guitar: Mick KarnAdditional keyboards: Robbie Kilgore
