SLEEP WELL YOU BONNIE LADS

Dedicated to those left behind

Sleep well you Bonnie lads, wherever you may be.

Buried in a foreign land or in the seep blue sea.

Sleep well you Bonnie Lads, you stayed forever young;

You died so others lived their lives, free from bomb and gun.

You left the shores of your lands, young lads still in your teems;

You hadn’t started living life; you hadn’t filled your dreams.

Britons, Commonwealth, Gurkhas, Police, you all served side by side;

Foreign ground marked with your blood where you fought and died.

In far off jungles green you fought for Country, King and Queen,

And for a Foreign people you hadn’t known or seen.

We ask now was it worth it?  Of course it was you see,

You helped to right a wrong and set a people free.

So in this Holy House of God, we Honour you with pride.

“Sleep in peace; God rest your souls”, this prayer goes out world wide.

And when the Day of Judgement comes, meet us with a smile.

We’ll take your hands, fall in line, and go the final mile

So look up to the Plaque and hold your Standards high;

They represent you and me, and those who had to die.

“Sleep well you Bonnie Lads”
