In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead, short days ago
We lived, felt down, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In flanders field.
Take up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high,
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
We will remember....
The 11th day of the 11th month
2 minutes silence to remember
The muddy battlefields, ugly
The young men who died
Their families
They helped us to live
Those brave soldiers who died
Like poppies in rows and rows

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.
We will remember....
We will remember....
God help the army, the airforce, the navy
I hope there will be no more wars
Poppies grew in the war
Around soldiers graves
So dark so dull where the soldiers fought
In the trenches, bombed out
Out came the poppies to make the land bright
Dropped young like those who fought and died
The red is to remember the blood
for when they got killed
We will remember all of those
who fought for us
The poppies became a symbol
for friends and family and
those who survived, devastated

“we looked after our people”
Say the proud soldiers in the ground

Poppies growing all around
Lay with the soldiers in the ground
Many men have fought many years ago
Family, homes, they never wanted to let go
The poppies grew where the men died
Like the young men they died too soon
Red petals like blood
This is why we should care
For them, nobody is there
On those ugly fields of mud and bombs
Those poppies gave love and hope
We will never forget
Who knew that horrible battleground
Could turn out to be such a beautiful field
Poppies growing everywhere all around
They lay like those soldiers in the ground
We will never forget

We will remember this day
The 11th hour the 11th month
The bloody battlefields
Poppies grow in the field
Where soldiers had been killed
We remember the soldiers in November
How brave they were
They fought for us, lives not wasted
We will hope for you
We will never forget
Petals like blood
Cross’s in the ground
We will never forget

Poppies grow in Belgium and France
They die early
Just like the young men
Too soon
Remember the soldiers who once lived
We never knew them
Lives gone like blowing out a candle
From such a tragedy the poppies grow
Green stems for grass
Red petals for blood
Of friends and brothers who died
We will never forget
Remember the soldiers who once lived
On the 11th day of the 11th month
We will never know them
But we will feel for them inside

Battlefield muddy wet and damp
Trenches dug deep in the ground
Soldiers fallen, dead
Sad forever
Remember remember the soldiers in November
In the fields where poppies blow
Where the soldiers lay row by row
Poppies with red petals
Like blood of the soldiers
So sad so painful
We will remember the soldiers once more
We will never forget
The sadness doesn’t end
The survivors feel guilt in the heart
For the soldiers who lay fast asleep
Their lives will never end
We will never forget

Those poor soldiers died in the war
Fit healthy full of life
Sometimes only 18, 19
On the 11th day of the 11th month
The guns stopped
The war ended
But men had died
Brave and young
We will never forget
Poppies grow brightly and boldly
From those battlefield full of blood
Where the soldiers lie
We will never forget

Poppies remind us of the soldiers
Who gave their lives
To save us
Poppies are red like the blood of the soldiers
Who gave their lives
To save us
The poppies grew on the wet muddy ground
Where the soldiers gave their lives
To save us
We will remember

Poppies as red as the soldiers blood
They died in the war
Their friends died in the war
They were 18, 19
How did they feel?
Poppies help us remember those ugly fields
Where the soldiers fought and died
We will never forget

I feel really sad for those who died
They saved our country from others
I wish war would stop
The soldiers would rise from the grave
To see the joy they have brought
Poppies grow from the ground
Soldiers’ dying in the war makes me sad
Im sad for those who died on the 10th
The battle grounds are gone
The bloody fields are gone
But the poppies remain
They grow but die too soon
We will remember those blood red fields
Poppies swaying in the wind
The petals falling and dropping
Like those soldiers
Names on crosses
Graves in rows
It makes me cry

Cross’s in lines
Side by side in the fields where they lie
Remember those soldiers once more
The horror they saw or heard
They fought for us, few survived
The red of the poppies
The red of the blood
Many soldiers died in the war
Heart stopping weapons
Devastation
Our lives wouldn’t be the same
Without those cross’s in lines
This is why we remember
Thank you

Red poppies, red blood
Together in the mud
They died saving us
Oh lord, make them come to life again

Cold wet damp fields
Full of blood and memories
Poppies died young just like the men
Their petals red like the blood of these men
Who would not see their families
In war people die soldiers die
I feel so sad their friends die
Then poppies grow, red, shine, beautiful poppies
Wonderful things to help us remember
We will never forget
For years or more
We will never forget
