Lyrics

Up on the hill I see it begin
Marking the heroes where they fall
In the stone, in the stone the names of those who have gone;

And over the river, there is a place
Where they remember boys and men
Widows talk, widows talk of all that they could have been;

We can hear you, we can hear you whisper our names;
We can see you, we can see you reading our names;

Up here in heaven, we stand together
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time
Up here in heaven, we are forever
There is only on god up here, for all of the world;

What of the children caught in the war
How can we tell them what it's for
When they cry, when they cry are voices heard anymore?

Are you listening, are you listening men of the war?
There is nothing, there is nothing worth dying for;

Up here in heaven, we stand together
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time
Up here in heaven, we are forever
There is only one god up here, for all of the world;
There is only one god up here, the god of the world
