Crosby & Nash - Live On (the Wall) lyrics

i can't say we won the war,

but i can say we survived

unlike some of your close friends,

who died standing by your side

did they serve their country well?

fighting in a winless war

soldiers on both sides can't tell

what it is they're fighting for

what were they dying for?

I guess somebody lied

and families felt the pain

as many mothers cried

and when we bought into the lie

who was counting up the cost

underneath a foreign sky

so many lives were lost

their memory will live on, live on,

the wall and all its casualties

live on, live on, carved in stone

for all to see, live on, live on

serve to remind us all

of the soldiers who have died

and the names upon the wall

forever carved in stone,

the names of those who died

the soldiers on the wall
