Veteran’s Day

[Verse 1]
This is to all who find themselves
Not playing on the old school yard
But runnin' for their lives and not much else
To the drummin' of their own desperate hearts
To the drummin' of their own desperate hearts

[Verse 2]
It's blood and bullets now on our minds
The times they never change that much
Come a day we'll honor all those who will die
And remember the less fortunate ones
Remember the less fortunate ones

[Chorus]
Let us pray as the day goes dark
White gloves, polish and flowers in the park
March the main streets and boulevards
On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day

[Verse 3]
As new rains fall on our holy house
The biggest rains I've ever seen
A wild blue wind whippin' burnin' red clouds
And the crazy white lightnin' in between
Crazy white lightnin' in between

[Chorus]
Let us pray as the day goes dark
White gloves, polish and flowers in the park
March the main streets and the boulevards
On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day

[Bridge]
The sky tries smilin'
Painted up dry leaves flyin'
I can't stop wishin' on a rainbow

[Verse 4]
Before the last flood washes over us
To leave us here to lie or to swim
Once more join together to celebrate
And remember all that could have been
Remember all that could have been

[Chorus]
Let us pray as the day goes dark
White gloves, polish and flowers in the park
March the main streets and boulevards
On a Veteran's Day, on a Veteran's Day
