Among the poppies in the darkening sky
My heart begins to wander in the stories behind
The hills along where dust blows
Where the once was a war, not so long ago
I still see it
I see the bravery, I see sky gray skies
I see the turmoil below where many bodies lie
In the trenches, a song still plays along
That raised their hopes, and brought them home
I still feel it
Can you feel the beats, of the hearts below
The courage, and bravery that fought the coward foe
The shouts of pain, and of joy
The final breath, with whispers of a life enjoyed
I still hear it
I hear little boys, playing in the sand
And little girls waiting to hold their Daddys hand
They will never forget, so why should we
Long live the people who fought in the air, land and sea
I still remember it
I remember, the larks still singing the song
To remember the boys that pulled and won
The battle that cost so much in the world
I'll never forget them, or so my soul shall be burned
I still think of it
There's a little poppy at my feet
I wonder if it was fate that made us meet
Too far from the others to make a stance
But I am here to give it a chance
I still pray for it
I'll take it home, and mend its heart
Because it's a part of the world that someone forgot
Is it a lost soldier that i now hold in my hands
Or just another flower that had no plans
I still love it
Nevertheless, It was a symbol
A symbol of someone who gave up their life
For someone they saw, and gave a chance to explore
The wonders of the world, before they could see no more
I still know it
I touch the delicate petals now in the sun
And think of the soul to which it belongs
I won't let it slip from memory again
Or fall away, just like the rain
I still follow it
The sun shines through the little window by the door
And makes a shadow glance onto the floor
Its not only the flower, but a soldier I see
And now I know, that another life has been freed
One day I'll become a poppy in the earth
Because that there is so much that life is worth
A poppy again traces into my mind
This time, I won't leave anyone behind
I still see it
