Forgotten Years - Lyrics
Few of the sins of the father
Are visited upon the son
Hearts have been hard
Hands have been clenched in a fist too long
Our sons need never be soldiers
Our daughters will never need guns
These are the years between
These are the years that were hard fought and won
Now, contracts torn at the edges
Old signatures stained with tears
Seasons of war and peace
These should not be forgotten years
Still it aches like tetanus
It reeks of politics
How many dreams remain?
This is a feeling too strong to contain
The hardest years, the darkest years
The roarin’ years, the fallen years
These should not be forgotten years
The hardest years, the wildest years
The desperate and divided years
We will remember
(These should not be forgotten years)
Our shoreline was never invaded
Our country was never in flames
This is the calm we breathe
This is a feeling too strong to contain
Still it aches like tetanus
It reeks of politics
Signatures stained with tears
Who can remember?
We’ve got to remember
The hardest years, the darkest years
The roarin’ years, the fallen years
These should not be forgotten years
The hardest years, the wildest years
The desperate and divided years
We will remember
(These should not be forgotten years)
