[Verse 1]
It rained the morning they brought you home
I still hear your mothers tears falling like stones
The world had broken her oldest son
The flag was folded, the war begun
I seen people angry, I held others who just cried
Friends I knew as young as you put their hands on the flag
To do the things that need be done
Go ask the women and the young
[Verse 2]
For they will come and hunt you
Sometime dead out on the street
And there I am, I'm back again now blood upon my teeth
I thought we would shine forever, all our river would run free
I'm afraid if I forget you now who'll remember me
They think it's over but they don't know what they've won
Go ask the women and the young
Go ask the women and the young
[Verse 3]
'Cause these old graveyards get lonely
We've been coming here this long
But we just keep on digging, digging, digging on
And every year we gather here beneath the Easter sun
Remembering our fallen and the things that still need done
Go ask the women and the young
Go ask the women and the young
