He Did Not Die In Vain

Lyrics: H A Howe/P Shart

Music: P Shart

Verse 1:
Another life taken away
Another youth buried today
A wasted journey, broken dreams
His coffin trailed by cries and screams

Bridge 1:
He was my hero since he was born
Now he’s the son I have to mourn

Chorus 1:
Tell me he did not die in vain
Inside my heart, he will always remain
And a folded flag, a medal won’t erase the pain
His tragic loss is no-one’s gain
Tell me he did not die in vain
He did not die in vain

Verse 2:
I shielded him from any harm
Now he is gone, victim of arms
Each war tears families apart
And every death breaks somebody’s heart

Bridge 2:
He was my hero since he was born
Now he’s the son I have to mourn

Chorus 2:
Tell me he did not die in vain
Inside my heart, he will always remain
And a folded flag, a medal won’t erase the pain
His tragic loss is no-one’s gain
Tell me he did not die in vain

Chorus 3:
Tell me he did not die in vain
Inside my heart, he will always remain
And a folded flag, a medal won’t erase the pain
His tragic loss is no-one’s gain
Tell me he did not die in vain
He did not die in vain
He did not die in vain
He did not die in vain
