Friends, have our dear hero lads died in vain; Have they Flanders field with their life's blood stained; Have they their sweet lives on death's altar lain For us to find that it was all in vain? If they have sacrificed their lives in vain We people in America who claim The heritage of a time honored name Should go about with our heads hung in shame. So let us put our petty wants aside and strive to keep the faith with those who've died That the rights of man should not be denied. If we fail to do this, to them we've lied. When the voice of the world for peace hath cried The men at the head their wants shan't deny. Then the tools of war will be laid aside, And "peace on earth" will sound the joyous cry.
