Of the war that you are fighting in our name

You can't say

Ain't got no gold or silver to my name

I don't need to win my battles

With a pistol, any man would do the same

Don't say, you do this for us

When you don't even know who we are

We just need love and our families

Sun on a cloudy day can go so far

And it's high time we remembered
