Edit 3 : For you those who need Lyrics here.
They fought and some died for their homeland.
They fought and some died, now it's our land.
Look at his little child; there's no fear in her eyes.
Could he not show respect for other dads who have died?

Take two minutes, would you mind?
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls who went over.
In peace may they rest, may we never
forget why they died.
It's a pittance of time.

God forgive me for wanting to strike him.
Give me strength so as not to be like him.
My heart pounds in my breast, fingers pressed to my lips,
My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists.

But two minutes I will bide.
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls who went over.
In peace may they rest.
May we never forget why they died.
It's a pittance of time.

Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home.
They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own.
There's a price to be paid if you go, if you stay.
Freedom's fought for and won in numerous ways.

Take two minutes, would you mind?
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls all over.
May we never forget, our young become vets.
At the end of the line,
It's a pittance of time.

It takes courage to fight in your own war.
It takes courage to fight someone else's war.
Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell.
They bring hope to foreign lands that hate mongers can't kill.

Take two minutes, would you mind?
It's a pittance of time,
For the boys and the girls who go over.
In peacetime our best still don battle dress
And lay their lives on the line.
It's a pittance of time

In peace may they rest,
Lest we forget...

This is a song great for Remembrance Day.
So, just take 2 minutes of silence on the special day, remembrance day...

This is a Canadian song, just telling you to take 2 minutes of silence on the 11th month, 11th day, 11th hour.

  • i have to sing this for my whole school today im scarded

  • I went for a walk, along about dark my path took me though the Veteran's park.

    The lights were shining clear and bright so i stoped for a while under a light.

    I paused for a moment to sit and remeber what it must have been like in that November.

    When friends and loved ones cam back from war And others whose faces we'd see no more.

    All those brave men who fought and died We akk remeber with so much pride.

    I hope there will never be another war And there shall be peace for ever more.

  • remembrance day songs are very touching :') i almost cried when i first heard this song :')

  • 11 months ago i came on here and heard this song, now on the same day i came last year, i come to hear it again. Excellent song, im only sorry i wasn't able to do the 2 minutes of silence due to the fact out school didn't do it this year, disrespectful.
