Just a day, another day Beneath a Belgian sun Past grave on grave, row upon row Until I see the name, John Condon
Carved in stone, with harp and crown Little crosses in the ground And standing there, my silent prayer Is for this boy who died, this soldier
Wee lad will not grow old Heroes who don't come home Here they lie in Belgian fields And Picardy
Just a recruit in soldier's blue From Ireland's shores to here This living hell, this Poelkapelle Where young men died like you, John Condon
And all around, the harp and crown The crosses in the ground Stands up in proof, the bitter truth The waste of youth that lies forgotten
Wee lad will not grow old Heroes who won't come home Here they lie in Belgian fields And Picardy
Now tell me John, 'fore I go on What did you come in here for? With Ireland's bold, your life untold Fourteen years old, to die a soldier
And all around, the harp and crown The crosses in the ground What cause was served? So undeserved?
