Lyrics Remembrance Day (2010 Remaster) - Midge Ure

While I was standing I saw
Two men before my eyes, Isaw
One man all dressed in truth
The other man was dressed in lies
One man held green and gold
The other man blue, white and red
And they smiled as they held guns to our heads
While I was standing I saw
Two men before my eyes
Watch as the rain begins to fall
Like tears from heaven on us all
To clean the sins we've made
And wash them away, wash them away
While I was standing I saw
Two countries go to war, I saw
Faces of children wondering
What their friends were fighting for
A crowd of people stood in silence
On Remembrance Day and I cried
As they blew them all away
While I was standing I saw
Two men before my eyes
Watch as the rain begins to fall
Like tears from heaven on us all
To clean the sins we've made
And wash them away, wash them away
While I was standing I saw
Two men with one God to share
Both wanting peace by war
Both want to win by prayer
How long before they find
This holy war a heinous sin
And they find that there's nothing left to win
