Shakin' Stevens — Echoes of Our Times

When your country needed you You did what you had to do They said never we'd go through this again Just one bullet was the start And it ripped away the heart A generation torn apart with the pain We will always remember The sacrifice you made to hold the line We will always remember Within our hearts these echoes of our times You were young and you were brave Charging on wave after wave And your precious lives you gave under fire Shells were raining from the sky Still you joined the battle cry You were fit enough to die, on the wire We will always remember The sacrifice you made to hold the line We will always remember Within our hearts these echoes of our times And if truth we had to tell We only stand because you fell In the trenches of your hell you could see You could see that it was right That you had to stand and fight So that good would still survive And we'd stay free We will always remember The sacrifice you made to hold the line We will always remember Within our hearts these echoes of our times Echoes of our times
