When idle thoughts lead me back down Memory lane
I think of Mr
Chamberlain stepping from the plane
Desperately clutching
that piece of paper he waved
That promise of hope
that Europe would be saved
How we all held that
precious hope in our hearts
Before the promise of
peace finally fell apart
And how that hope
evaporated to leave me scared
When Chamberlains
voice said war was declared
Hitler’s broken
promise broke Neville’s heart
Another world war blew
his appeasement apart
Then up steps Winston
Churchill into the fray
His boldness and stiff
resolve eventually won the day
A broken man, Chamberlain’s
life came to an end
Many years before the
war he tried so hard to prevent
