Christopher Cross - We Will Remember You Lyrics

I know — I know —
It seems that we don’t care
But we bless you and your families
While you’re fighting over there

You set aside your own sweet dreams
To heed your country’s call
Some of you made it home
Some of you gave it all

It seems our noble country
Is in one endless war
And we all have our opinions
About what you’re fighting for

But we still need to tell you
While the winds of war blow
As you look that nightmare in the eye
There’s something you should know

We will remember you
We will remember you
We will remember you
With love and gratitude

All of us here sit around complaining
‘Bout the things we have to do
But not one of us could begin to imagine
The hell that you’ve been through

And whether or not you have returned
There should be no neglect
‘Cause every one of you has earned
Respect! Respect! Respect!

We will remember you
We will remember you
We will remember you
With love and gratitude

[Solo]

And though we bow our heads
And say God speed you
We’re praying for the day
When we won’t need you
Praying for peace on earth
We will remember you

We will not forget you
We will remember you
We will not forget you
We will remember you
We will not forget you
And everything you do
We will remember you
We will remember you
We will remember you
With love and gratitude
