jim pembroke - a former army كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
what shall we sing for the marching army
marching home, marching home
marching home from a distant war
what shall we do for the…
they won’t need them anymore

shall we melt them down to make statues
donate them to the needy poor
and they’ll never need for statues
just food and medicine outside the door
[verse 2]
oh, and what shall we sing for a former cavalry
riding home from a, from a former war
and what shall we do with all the horses
free them and donate them to the hungry horde

oh, and what shall we sing for a former navy
sailing home from a former shore
and what shall we do about the former sailors
would they have their former jobs anymore

[bridge]
down in the valley the rockets and the drum
they herald the truth that the battle had begun
for god, flag and country the banners unfurl
as the lonely homesick soldier writes a letter to his girl

my love will not age, let love be my cage
and i’ll put the pen to paper, and each day i’ll write a new page

[verse 3]
and what shall we do with the former barracks
should give them to the ever present poor
assign them in soup kitchens
a sign says “welcome” on the door
and shall we all go marching around
the former battleground
until the fifth of forever
forever ain’t no time
forever ain’t no time
ain’t no time, ain’t no time
at all

- jim pembroke
