‘In Your Name’

Lyric

Verse 1

‘I am not proud

Of how my country remembers them.

We can be too quick to forget’

And the price

The price for every veteran

Is to return without protection or respect.

Verse 2

No one left the light on

No one’s lit the fire

Just another round of sacrifice to go

Disillusioned and betrayed

They cower into shame

For wanting just a simple ‘welcome home’

Chorus

‘Well know this:

Every soldier and their family

Hear this

To every one of you that served

This nation loves you

This nations proud

Your story

Will not be rewritten or erased.

For we stand here all together

In your name

We honour You and every One of you today

Verse 3

Bikes roared with yellow ribbons

Through the crowds on Plymouth streets

And The Lifeguards marched as one and raised you up

Thousands came together

With Flags and poppies and applause

For a life that stood for courage and for love

Chorus repeat
