"For The Boys" lyrics

"For The Boys"

When it's over
When our days are through
And all we'll ever do is behind
In the evening
At our setting sun
When our work is done I'd like to say

That we did it all for love
For times worth dreaming of
To hold our hearts above the rain
And that while we could we tried
To bridge the great divide
To keep the dark alive at bay

That we did it for the boys
And the ones that never could
For the sorrow and the joy
For the ground on which we stood
For the ones no longer with us
For the chance that we could change
For the temper and the reason
In the hope that we could say

That we did it all for love
For times worth dreaming of
To hold our hearts above the rain
That while we could we tried
To bridge the great divide
To keep the dark inside at bay

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
