REMEMBRANCE DAY CHILD

WHAT CAN I DO? TO SAY THANK YOU, TO A TIME SO LONG AGO.
WHAT CAN I DO? HOW CAN I KNOW, IT SEEMS SO FAR FROM ME.
I KNOW THAT YOU DIED, SO MANY HAD DIED
LONG YEARS AGO, YOU FELT THE DAWN YOU SAW THE SUNSET GLOW.
I KNOW THAT I'M JUST A CHILD, HOW'S A CHILD TO KNOW?
I HAVE A PLACE TO SLEEP, MY FAMILY HAS FOOD TO EAT,
I CAN FEEL SAFE WHEN I'M WALKING DOWN THE STREET
HOW CAN I KNOW, WHAT IT MEANS?
IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS, IN FLANDERS FIELDS
WHERE YOU DIED LONG YEARS AGO
IN FLANDERS FIELDS, IN FLANDERS FIELDS
WHERE THE POPPIES GROW AND MARK THE ROWS

I TRY TO UNDERSTAND, WHAT IT IS THAT WE HAVE GAINED
WE CAN BE WHO WE ARE, WE CAN REACH FOR THE STARS
WE CAN BE ANYTHING
WE CAN FOLLOW ANY GOD, HAVE A CREED OR NO CREED AT ALL
WE CAN GO ANYWHERE WE WANT, HAVE ANY FRIENDS WE WANT
WE CAN DECIDE FOR OURSELVES THE TRUTH WE WANT
THESE ARE HERE FOR ME BECAUSE OF YOU
WHAT CAN I DO? TO SAY THANK YOU
I'LL REMEMBER YOU.
