Ian Hiscox signed Armed Forces Pledge 2026-10-10 12:45:33 +0100Was it hard serving, you bet it was and is
Was I ever scared? Is it something I miss?
Did it change me from the person I used to be
Did it weaken my life, or help me see
Why did I join up, what did I need
Why did I offer my life to bleed
Well let me tell you my dear fellow brothers
Yes, if you served your a brother from other mothers
It wasn’t pride or a patriotic thing
I was broken and needed fixing
I remember that very first day
People like me looking for another way
Boys really, looking for adventure and fun
The thrill of battles to be won
Finding out there was only one thing we can rely on
It’s each other brothers, remember that, before we are gone
The days spent together through many hardships and pain
Forming us as one, look what we became
No longer boys, mighty warriors we were
Longing to fight, longing to serve
Yes we’ve been through some stuff, some too hard to bare
But brothers, if I’ve learned anything, that pain inside, we must share
It’s brothers like us, who can understand and be that ear
It’s brothers like us, not embarrassed to share a tear
It’s brothers like us, that have got your back
It’s brothers like us that will carry your pack
So if your still living your war, if that pain won’t go away
Cmon fellow soldiers, come have your say
Speak to a brother, someone who can be there for you
If not a fellow brother whose seen it, then who?
I will finish by reminding you of this
When we served together it wasn’t all bliss
But one thing we have both then and NOW
Which we all seem to forget somehow
We are better together, open your eyes and see
Let’s heal our pasts, don’t be an I, brothers we are a WEJoin Britain's Biggest Thank You To Veterans
