A Flower Tells a Story - Katherine Jenkins

A flower tells a simple story

It speaks of lives forever changed

In a thousand nameless faces

And a thousand faceless names

A gift from generations lost

To those who still survive

For this flower tells a story

For the ones who gave without demand

For the years they served in a distant land

Their finest hour they gave

The sacrifice they made for us

We thank them

A flower tells of lights dimmed early

Of a star burned out too young

A story of a hero

Too often left unsung

This tale from generations lost

To those who still survive

For a flower tells a story

For the life you gave without demand

For the years you served in a distant land

Your finest hour you gave

The sacrifice you made for us

The sacrifice

I thank you for the gift to us

The greatest there can be

Your courage when you fought for liberty

For the life you gave without demand

The ones who saved this land

Your finest hour you gave

The sacrifice you made for us

Your sacrifice

We thank you

Thank you
