Roy Harper - Berliners lyrics
[Roy Harper - Berliners lyrics]
(after Laurence Binyon)
They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning we will remember them
They built a wall boys
It stayed up for thirty years
We've torn it down now
Clattering round their ears
You know how it is, with spirit (s)
They just couldn't hold us
Brothers and sisters the world you died for
Was all but a pack of lies
It had to fall down, and keep on falling
You gave us the world they promised you
And in the morning we are the flowering
We are the flowering youth berliners
They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning we will remember them
They built a wall boys
It stayed up for thirty years
We've torn it down now
Clattering round their ears
You know how it is, with spirit (s)
They just couldn't hold us
Brothers and sisters the world you died for
Was all but a pack of lies
It had to fall down, and keep on falling
You gave us the world they promised you
And in the morning we are the flowering
We are the flowering youth berliners
