lyrics

All the things that we possess the freedom that we gained through bitterness
Bravery, and sacrifice given by those in the prime of their lives

Thank you, all the best, iechyd da we owe you our gratitude
And deep respect you fought for us so we could be free

Running through the fields you'd never know
Why countless white crosses go on for miles
Where poppy's grow and Tommy's rest
Ghostly dragons fly above Mametz so high.

I told the story to my child
Why brave men fought and young men died
From coal miners to strong farm hands
They were soldiers of the Royal Welch Fusiliers

Thank you, all the best, iechyd da we owe you our gratitude
And deep respect you fought for us so we could be free

Running through the fields you'd never know
Why countless white crosses run on for miles
Where poppy's grow and Tommy's rest
Ghostly dragons fly above Mametz so high.

So thank you, all the best, iechyd da we owe you our gratitude
And deep respect you fought for us so we could be free
