Live On (the Wall) Lyrics - Crosby & Nash

I can't say we won the war 

But I can say we survived 

Unlike some of your close friends 

Who died standing by your side 

Did they serve their country well 

Fighting in a winless war? 

Soldiers on both sides can't tell 

What it is they're fighting for 

What were they dying for? 

I guess somebody lied 

And families felt the pain 

As many mothers cried 

And when we bought into the lie 

Who was counting up the cost? 

Underneath the foreign sky 

So many lives were lost 

Their memory will live on, live on 

The wall and all its casualties live on, live on 

Carved in stone for all to see live on, live on 

Serve to remind us all of the soldiers who have died 

And the names upon the wall 

Forever carved in stone, the names of those who died 

The soldiers on the wall
