Sitting amongst the great and the good Here they're looking back at me The silence in my head is deafening Looking on the world here from where I sit Use their eyes to reflect on the lives passed by Trying to find what I'm seeking getting left behind I realise the ones with me were tragically left behind In trying to square the triangle do I miss the point The ultimate sacrifice I come here to anoint The bravery and fortitude of ones so young Your hopes and ambitions taken away Now perfectly aligned in your angel wings Sitting here takes me to fields of mud and hell Tales repeatedly told over the past 100 years From victory to glorious disasters fought so well A privilege to sit here in the glow of your light Thankful for the life I have from your sacrifice Amongst the Great and Good with utmost respect The world you went to shape taken away too soon As I drift across the names your faces are as one How many still recalled in pride by grateful family Monuments across the country and in foreign field A focus of hope for our profound remembrance Your service and sacrifice must never been forgotten
