Yes, I know this song has no resemblance to the orginal, but the tune is poignant and right for this song.
It was June the sixth in a time that seems long ago
Some brave men faced a horror that most men will never know
The world was plunged in darkness by a man who's evil defined
His domination of the world was what he had in mind
How they found the courage facing death may be hard to understand
But they knew what must be done protecting this great land
Many died on those bloody beaches that were so far away
We will not forget their sacrifice...it's why we're free today
Lessons had been learned but it seems that people forget
When faced with evil, on the sidelines they want us to sit
If we don't answer strongly, there's a message that has been sent
The enemy grows stronger and they never will relent
How they found the courage facing death may be hard to understand
But they knew what must be done protecting this great land
Many died on those bloody beaches that were so far away
We will not forget their sacrifice...it's why we're free today
Very nice, Doug. I'll ping my list here...
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
