Why
Why did our father's suffer in vain
For years in France shedding blood
And why does the memory of
Make them wonder what was their good
-o-
They left behind the one they held dear
To fight for the things that they thought were right
Hundreds went home again, thousands stayed
There the glorious dead remain
-o-
Was anything gained from taking their lives
Was the war to end all wars ever won
And what of the women, the heroes wives
Left alone to care for their sons
-o-
Much they, after watching their boys become men
Endure the heartaches and fears
At seeing their loved ones taken away
To fight after all these years
-o-
And in the years to come
When they are left all alone
Having lost husband and son
Will they have better thoughts
Such is every-thing; gone,
That's what my Country has done
