For Any Country

For any Country i am one who would not die If i did tell you differently this would be a lie Of patriotic attachments i am one who is free The heroes are never the people like me By many we are told the good do die young And the praises of dead war heroes by the patriots are sung But at the war memorial after the war parade The dead do not hear when The Last Post is played That life is about living truer words never said The fearful are living and the fearless are dead The true patriot in war he died young and brave But he cannot help his Country from the depths of the grave The one with fear of death and love of life will live out his time span And die in peace as a very old man.
