Lest we forget | Goodna State School

In our ANZAC Commemoration the choir presents "Lest We Forget" before the school students, parents and our special guests: returned veterans and serving personnel.

LEST WE FORGET by Michael Reynolds

Although you're getting on in years
And memories seem to disappear
Some things will never fade away
Some memories will stay

There's one day in each year you will not forget
If this year's your last year -- we will not forget

Chorus:

One more parade -- one less digger by your side
One year you're marching -- the next you ride
Hold your head up high -- hold your head up high
Lest we forget -- lest we forget

It seems a long, long time ago
A young man far away from home
Friends made and lost along the way
Some memories will stay

Those who died -- those who live, you will not forget
If this year's your last year -- we will not forget

Chorus

One more parade -- one less digger by your side
One year you're marching -- the next you ride
Hold your head up high -- hold your head up high
Lest we forget -- lest we forget

The sound of cannon roaring by
The smoke and fire covered sky
The nights of terror as you pray
Some memories will always stay

At the closing of the day -- a grateful nation will rise to pray
Some things will never fade away -- some memories will stay
Not for one day but always -- we will not forget
Your memory for ever -- we will not forget

Chorus

One more parade -- one less digger by your side
One year you're marching -- the next you ride
Hold your head up high -- hold your head up high
Lest we forget -- lest we forget
