Where The Rose Is Sown
Recorded by Big Country
Verse 1
We're at war all the papers say we will win I read today
We are strong it wasn't us we are right who started this
Leave your work I just left school leave you’re home I am no fool
Takes up arms it left me strong sound alarms the school bell rings
Chorus
Sons of men who stand like gods we give life to feed the cause
And run to ground our heathen foe our name will never die this time will be forever
Verse 2
Join up here I wave goodbye we need you oh my breast sighs
Have no fear now I must try god will be with braver men
Takes the vow I know its right praise the flag the good fight
We're at war I’m on my way we will win why do I pray
Chorus
Verse 3
I wait here in this hole playing poker with my soul
I hold the rifle close to me it lights the way to keep me free
If I die in a combat zone box me up and ship me home
If I die and still come home lay me where the rose is sown
Chorus
