One still morn When lands were torn Not so long ago In a field of haze Where the poppies blaze The troops prepared to go Then out went the call Now some would fall For the sake of you and me And the brotherhood Of the brave and good Would meet their destiny For they were Lions Heroic Lions They fought for you and me That the whole world might be free Yes, they were Lions Heroic Lions And they fell on the poppy fields For liberty The young and old With heart and soul Braced up for the front line fight Our treasured sons Charged the big guns Into the fading light Our daughters too And every person who Faced up to their darkest hour They all stood tall We remember them all With the little red poppy flower For they were Lions Heroic Lions They fought for you and me That the whole world might be free Yes, they were Lions Heroic Lions And they fell on the poppy fields For liberty With every child that’s born And every brand new dawn We remember the price they paid The ones that fell Or came back to tell Of the sacrifice they made Those heroes stood tall We remember them all With the little red poppy flower For the ones that fell Or came back to tell Of their comrades’ bravest hour For they were Lions Heroic Lions They fought for you and me That the whole world might be free Yes, they were Lions Heroic Lions And they fell on the poppy fields For liberty For every noble cause There are foolish wars But the brave and good still pay So we remember them all For they answered the call And we honour them to this day The sacrifices made And the price they paid Will be remembered evermore Let us hope and pray That there will come a day When wars will be no more For they were Lions Heroic Lions They fought for you and me That the whole world might be free Yes, they were Lions Heroic Lions And they fell on the poppy fields For you and me
