We fight willingly for our country br For the liberty and welfare of loved ones br Protecting the defenceless br Our life is the token we place in arenas of death br Placed there without thought of the consequences br Freely unerringly given br Giving for what we believe in br Sometimes crippled, mostly dying br Through the ages against tyranny br Fighting with inimitable valour br Willing to defend to death br For the right to respect and be respected br Armies and governments will come and go br Soldiers will live on forever br Even those under those grassy sods br Marked by the crosses sign br Placed there in grief br Weep not for the man beneath the mound br Humanity needs the tears morebr br Gordon D Wilkinsonbr br
