Never again
Remember, remember and never again
The fighting, the killing, the loss of young lives.
We solemnly vow to allow peace to reign.
Remember, remember and never again
But they say we must fight for the good to remain
And the soldiers march on until once more we cry
Remember, remember and never again
The fighting, the killing, the loss of young lives.
