Will They Call Them Heroes, If They Die ?


Four Soldiers take a Break
Will the tears flow after their lives have ebbed away ?
Will they send them flowers when they’re up above ?
Will the World stop the wars and be at peace ?
Will they know how others seek their love ?
As they stopped a bullet that went astray ?

Will they call them heroes, if they die ?


Will they be placed upon an Altar where others may see ?
Will their medals show how they were brave ?
Will the World stop the wars and be at peace ?
Will a cross be placed above their graves ?
And will their spirit in prayer now be free ?

Will they call them heroes, if they die ?


Will the poppies fall from the sky ?
Will a guard of honour aim their rifles in the air ?
Will the World stop the wars and be at peace ?
Will the heart-break always be there ?
And will the Government tell us why ?

Will they call them heroes, if they die ?
