Lyric Remember Me

Oh, I am the Unknown Soldier who died in World War Two.
I didn t want to fight, it was the only thing to do.
I was the victim of a world that went insane--
Will you show me that I didn t die in vain.

Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin ,
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin ,
Remember me and please don t let me down.

On the South Pacific Islands and the Iwo Jima sands
We raised the flag of freedom over many distant lands
And every time I killed a man my own heart felt the pain--
Will you show me that I didn t die in vain.

Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin ,
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin ,
Remember me and please don t let me down.

And I carried my old rifle to the European shore
And every friend that died made me die a little more.
Have pity on the man who put a bullet through my brain
And show me that I didn t die in vain.

Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin ,
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin ,
Remember me and please don t let me down.

When the Fascists started marching many millions had to pay;
We saw them rise to power but we looked the other way.
It happened once before and it can happen once again--
Will you show me that I didn t die in vain.

Remember me, when the crosses are a burnin ,
Remember me, when the racists come around.
Remember me, when the tides of peace are turnin ,
Remember me and please don t let me down.
