EOur Bsons need never be soldiers Our dauDgters will never need guns
DTheseA are the years between These are the years that were hardE fought an won
(PLAY RIFF 1)
BContracts torn at the edges Old sigDnatures stained with tears
SeaA/Esons of war and grace The should not be forEgotten years Still it

[Chorus]
The hardest years, the darkest years...
Forsaking aching breaking years.
The Time and tested heartbreak years.
These should not be forgotten years.
The blinded years, the binded years.
The desperate and divided years.
These should not be forgotten years
Remember
