Hmm

I remember
oh I remember

the mud

rats

and wire

oh the rusted wire

hmm yeah

I remember
oh I remember

the way we ran

fought

and fell

oh so many fell

alone

out there

out there in the dirt and fear

hmm hmm yeah

one night

one silent night

we went over there

where we weren’t supposed to go

without the tools of war

and we sang together

we sang together

out there where so many fell

oh oh oh

we had found the peace we were fighting for

ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

the peace we were fighting for

hmm

I remember
oh I remember

the carols

we sung

under the stars

so clear

hmm yeah

I remember
Oh I remember

how we laughed

off the weather

as we kicked

a football

back and forth

out there

out there without a hint of fear

hmm hmmm yeah

one night

one silent night

we went over there

where we weren’t supposed to go

without the tools of war

and we sang together

we sang together

out there where so many fell

oh oh oh

we had found the peace we had been fighting for

ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

the peace we had been fighting for

oooo

it all started with one

the one who started singing

and soon we were all singing along

under that cold crystal moon

ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

it all started with one
the one who started singing
that old

Christmas

song
ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

one night

one silent night

we went over there

where we weren’t supposed to go

without the tools of war

and we sang together

we sang together

out there where so many fell

oh oh oh

we had found the peace we were fighting for

ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

the peace we were fighting for

oooo

it all started with one

the one who started singing

and soon we were all singing along

under that cold crystal moon

ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

it all started with one

the one who started singing

that old

Christmas

song

ooooweeeeooooweeeoooo

I remember
oh I remember

we had found the peace we were fighting for
