This is to all who find themselves Not playin' on the old school yard Runnin' for their lives and not much else To the drummin' of their own desperate hearts To the drummin' of their own desperate hearts It's blood and bullets now on our minds The times they never change that much Come a day we'll honor all those who died And remember the less fortunate ones Remember the less fortunate ones Let us pray as the day goes dark White gloves, polish and flowers in the park March the main streets and the boulevards On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day The sky tries smilin' Painted up dry leaves flyin' I can't stop wishin' a rainbow Before the last flood washes over us To leave us here on this sweet ground Once more join together and celebrate And remember all that could have been Remember all that could have been Let us pray as the day goes dark White gloves, polish and flowers in the park March the main streets and the boulevards On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day
