Remembrance Day - Midge Ure

While I was standing I saw

Two men before my eyes, Isaw

One man all dressed in truth

The other man was dressed in lies

One man held green and gold

The other man blue, white and red

And they smiled as they held guns to our heads

While I was standing I saw

Two men before my eyes

Watch as the rain begins to fall

Like tears from heaven on us all

To clean the sins we’ve made

And wash them away, wash them away

While I was standing I saw

Two countries go to war, I saw

Faces of children wondering

What their friends were fighting for

A crowd of people stood in silence

On Remembrance Day and I cried

As they blew them all away

While I was standing I saw

Two men before my eyes

Watch as the rain begins to fall

Like tears from heaven on us all

To clean the sins we’ve made

And wash them away, wash them away

While I was standing I saw

Two men with one God to share

Both wanting peace by war

Both want to win by prayer

How long before they find

This holy war a heinous sin

And they find that there’s nothing left to win
