[Verse] We wear the poppy for hearts that ache For lives unspoken Paths they won't take For those who vanished in the fight Who left us dreaming through the night [Prechorus] For mothers holding empty air For fathers lost in silent prayer [Chorus] We wear the poppy Red like the sky For those who left with no goodbye For brothers Sisters Husbands Wives For children robbed of growing lives We wear the poppy Soft and small A heavy burden for us all [Verse 2] To the families we may never meet Your pain echoes through every street Missing faces Missing names Silent heroes Endless flames [Bridge] A bloom for courage A bloom for loss A symbol carried No matter the cost A bloom for the ones who never came home So no one stands in grief alone [Chorus] We wear the poppy Red like the sky For those who left with no goodbye For brothers Sisters Husbands Wives For children robbed of growing lives We wear the poppy Soft and small A heavy burden for us all
