They were just lads, Sent to war, With the bags on their backs, Not sure if they, Would ever come back, Or would they meet their end, At the end of a gun. *** They were just lads, Who couldn't have known, The world they'd leave us, But they fought like hell for, The word they had known. *** They were just lads, Who sacrificed everything, For each and every one of us.
