brian caddell - the bronze plaque lyrics

Loading...

there’s a bronze plaque
on a grande piano
in a highschool, in a small town
in glengarry

all the names there
of the fallen soldiers
lost their lives in a place far away

they were young men
the sons and brothers
left their loved ones
when they called for the brave
and they died there
in the fight for freedom
there’s was lost, to save ours today

graduation and a young man stays behind
in the dim light, at the piano he plays
for an uncle who passed before him
his name that stands bronze there today

and the music fills the hall like thunder
part anger, part frustration, mostly sorrow

and a tear falls
softly down his cheek
as the notes sound for those on the roll

stanley fraser, alexander duncan macdonald
alexander claire macdonald, alan joseph macdonald, john macdonald, stuart kennedy
too many

sheldon macmillan, louis sheperd, hayden asselin, jack cowen
edgar kent, claude legroulx, anselm macdonald, bruce macdonald
douglas macdonald, john leo macdonell, campbell macgillivray, donald m. maccleod, lloyd marrae, robert mccormick, bernard mcdonell, hubert morris, patrick williams

and the boy stands and he takes just one last look
reading slowly with his thoughts in the way
and he wonders long about what might have been
if they’d stayed, would they be here today
there’s a bronze plaque
on a grande piano
in a highschool in a smalltown
called glengarry
