The Go Set - Raymond O'Byrne lyrics

Young boy leaves his home, to seek adventure in a foreign land A young boy sails away, on the journey that will make him a man And I wonder what were we fighting for Gotta wonder was it someone else’s war when we said Hey ho, together we would stand, we know that divided we would fall Hey ho, together we would stand, we said, all for one and one for all Then the whistle blew, and darkness turned to night Terror in a young mans eyes, but he stands to fight Shells fell all around him, good men fell but they were still taking ground There's blood on the sand, in the adventure that would make him a man And I wonder what were we fighting for Gotta wonder was it someone else’s war when we said Hey ho, together we would stand, we know that divided we would fall Hey ho, together we would stand, we said, all for one and one for all 20 years have gone, and the country's free but he is locked inside his mind 20 years of dreams, of all the blood, and young mens screams He walks out to his shed, and in his uniform put a rope around his neck Theres a freedom in d**h, and there he breathed his very last breath
