20 Brothers In Arms Lest We Forget We Said A Little Prayer Today We said a little prayer today A prayer for mates who died And no one here’s ashamed to say There’s been some tears we’ve cried For good mates full of zest for life Cut down while in their prime Amid the war’s furore and strife Now gone before their time We said a little prayer today For all their families And asking Lord for strength that they Can bear their sadness, please! For Parents who have lost a son And Kids who lost their dad And wives who’ve lost beloved ones So tragic Lord, so sad We said a little prayer today For strength and courage for The mates and colleagues who must stay Away to fight this war We’re sure they’re sad to lose their friends So help them bear the strain That when one day this fighting ends This cost won’t be in vain We said a little prayer today For those who sacrifice Their lives in service in the fray To pay our freedom’s price O help us God to realize As tears flow for the lost Our Peace and freedom is the prize That’s won at such a cost
