You were only 19 when duty called But it was not for you to know Caught in the trenches, ordered to attack You disappeared in smoke, never to come back
Chorus: You were too young to die, for a cause that wasn't true You were too young to die, and there were so many like you
We were left behind in disbelief When the clatter of guns fell silent The echo of your suffering lingers on And now the war continues even though you're gone
