Here are the lyrics if you want them.
Before you go.
Quietly you all turned grey,
You did the job you saved our way,
Our life and freedom you preserved,
We’ve thanked you less than you deserved.
You never boasted bragged or asked,
For adulation of your past,
You did the job you knew was right,
And quietly, you cry at night.
For bodies maimed and comrades lost,
For sights beyond our furthest thoughts,
For what you’ve lived, felt and seen,
For what the cost of freedom means.
You have us blessed with every breath,
That cost you arms, legs and death,
You won the worst and greatest war,
We owe you more, we owe you more.
Thank you for your wondrous feats,
For open speech and quiet streets,
For worship as we choose to pray,
For preservation of our way.
Before you go we need to show,
That in your silence we need to know,
What you accomplished and what you did,
For who we are and how we live.
So go with love from wives and sons,
And daughters for a job well done,
From kids who've never seen a tank,
We give you thanks, we give you thanks.
Thank you for your wondrous feats,
For open speech and quiet streets,
For worship as we choose to pray,
For preservation of our way.
For homes and jobs and baseball games,
For many colours, many names,
You've saved our lives and we're still free,
From shining sea to shining sea.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you ... go in peace.
