We dare not move
We sit close by, weâre drinking the spoils, ignoring the cries
The one in every three dead
Haunting back on our shores
Is this all weâve got the energy for?
Where has our heart gone?
Selective memory, isolationists
Falling back on ourselves pretend that weâre strong
Weâre not that strongâ¦.
I believe that we had the chance to show
The strength in our heart, true test of our metal
And when the first hurdle came with the yards to be done
We fell, we crashed, we cried and fell down
Is this our whole nation of the heartless kind
This hereâs a sorrowful song
This hereâs a sorrowful song
Remember back when the Great Wars ended
They took us to those places, very special places
And we told them all, weâd never forget
Weâd stand arm in arm
Judge us by the way we act now
Is my whole nation of the heartless kind
This hereâs a sorrowful song
This hereâs a sorrowful song
This hereâs a sorrowful song
This hereâs a sorrowful song
This hereâs a sorrowful song
A sorrowful nation, a sorrowful song
A sorrowful nation for a beautiful nation
For a sorrowful nation
Is this my whole nation of the heartless kind?
This hereâs a sorrowful song
This hereâs a sorrowful song
