Lyrics
Few of the sins of the father Are visited upon the son Hearts have been hard Hands have been clenched in a fist too long Our sons need never be soldiers Our daughters will never need guns These are the years between These are the years that were hard fought and won
Now our contracts torn at the edges Old signatures stained with tears Seasons of war agrees These should not be forgotten years Still it aches like tetanus It reeks of politics How many dreams remain? This is a feeling too strong to contain
The hardest years The darkest years The roarin' years The fallen years These should not be forgotten years The hardest years The wildest years The desperate and divided years We will remember These should not be forgotten years
Our shoreline was never invaded Our country was never in flames This is the calm we breathe This is the feeling too strong to contain Still it aches like tetanus It reeks of politics Signatures stained with tears Who can remember? We've got to remember
The hardest.. 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
