when grand parents were younger,
back in the good old days,
the world was clouded
by war's terrible haze.

Most young people back then,
all true patriots and brave,
were going off to fight
for democracy to save.

the great war was upon them,
and all must join in,
for this was one fight
that they had to win.

No plans were important,
they all had to wait,
for America had enemies
at freedoms front gate.

Those were your grand parents,
that won that great war,
and saved your future
thats what they fought for.
