Today is a holiday and that is all
Today is no more and no less
Today is unlike the other days
Today we decide to recall
But only for a holiday and that is all
A candle is lit to remember those who passed
Soldiers who gave their lives to a cause
Civilians whose lives were taken away
A gunshot, a surprise attack, a bomb blast
We gather to remember those who passed
A holiday is what brings us here together
Alone, we would not choose to remember
So many lives lost so we could live this way
But this is proof we remain in unkind weather
For a holiday is all that brings us here together
Today is a holiday and that is all
Today is no more and no less
Today is unlike the other days
Today we decide to recall
But only for a holiday and that is all
