Chorus. Now young Willie McBride I can't help but wonder why Do all those who lie here know why they died And did they believe when they answered the cause Did they really believe that this war would end wars Well the sorrows, the suffering, the glory, the pain The killing and dying was all done in vain For young Willie McBride it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again.

The killing and dying - it was all done in vain. For Willie McBride, it's all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again. The poignancy of the lyrics continue to resonate. The so-called war to end wars did not prevent the outbreak of a second horrific conflict between 1939 and 1945.
