They fought and some died for their home land
They fought and some died now its our land
Look at his little child, theres no fear in her eyes
Could he not show respect for other dads who have died
Take two minutes, would you mind? Its a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who went over
In peace may they rest, may we never forget
Why they died
Its a pittance of time
God for give me for wanting to strike him
Give me strength so as not to be like him
My heart pounds in my breast, fingers pressed to my lips
My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists
But two minutes I will bide, its a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who went over
In peace may they rest, may we never forget
why they died... its a pittance of time
Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home
They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own
Theres a price to be paid if you go, if you stay
Freedoms fought for and won in numerous ways
Take two minutes, would you mind? Its a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls all over
May we never forget our young become vets
At the end of the line
its a pittance of time
It takes courage to fight in your own war
It takes courage to fight someone elses war
Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell
They bring hope to foreign lands that the hate mongers cant kill
Take two minutes, would you mind? Its a pittance of time
For the boys and the girls who go over
In peace time our best still don battle dress
And lay their lives on the line... its a pittance of time
In peace may they rest
lest we forget why they died
Take a pittance of time
