nor ever could recognise the tone

Of your voice, but we know,what you did, for us!

It's not that we know what you went through,

Nor your suffering.

But we know you paid, the ultimate price!

It's not that you were family

nor have we felt the pride of a father, nor seen you, through a mother's eyes.

But your gift, is our future.

We have not felt the pain, nor the true cost of your sacrifice.

But we feel, the gift, that you left!

For we know, for every moment your life denied
Our freedom,a remembrance of you, with pride!

It's not that we know you!

nor ever could recognise the tone

Of your voice, but we know,what you did, for us!

It's not that we know what you went through,

Nor your suffering.

But we know you paid, the ultimate price!

It's not that you were family

nor have we felt the pride of a father, nor seen you, through a mother's eyes.

But your gift, is our future.

We have not felt the pain, nor the true cost of your sacrifice.

But we feel, the gift, that you left!

For we know, for every moment your life denied
Our freedom,a remembrance of you, with pride!
