[Intro]
[Verse]
They did not fall in brute battle
To carve their names in marble stone
Soldiers of life’s rattle-rattle
We briefly shared the memory-zone
[Chorus]
Remembering and recalling
The few who meant a little thing
To hold a light for each falling
For them to hear - perhaps - and sing
[Verse]
The teachers who inspired then left
The colleagues who resigned to go
Sean and Nicola - quite bereft
Brian and Ray - a quick learning blow
[Chorus]
Remembering and recalling
The few who meant a little thing
To hold a light for each falling
For them to hear - perhaps - and sing
[Break]
[Verse]
They did not fall in brute battle
To carve their names in marble stone
Soldiers of life’s rattle-rattle
We briefly shared the memory-zone
[Chorus]
Remembering and recalling
The few who meant a little thing
To hold a light for each falling
For them to hear - perhaps - and sing
[Verse]
The teachers who inspired then left
The colleagues who resigned to go
Sean and Nicola - quite bereft
Brian and Ray - a quick learning blow
[Chorus]
Remembering and recalling
The few who meant a little thing
To hold a light for each falling
For them to hear - perhaps - and sing
[Break]
[Verse]
They did not fall in brute battle
To carve their names in marble stone
Soldiers of life’s rattle-rattle
We briefly shared the memory-zone
[Chorus]
Remembering and recalling
The few who meant a little thing
To hold a light for each falling
For them to hear - perhaps - and sing
[Verse]
The teachers who inspired then left
The colleagues who resigned to go
Sean and Nicola - quite bereft
Brian and Ray - a quick learning blow
[Chorus]
Remembering and recalling
The few who meant a little thing
To hold a light for each falling
For them to hear - perhaps - and sing
