This song is about a survivor from D-Day visiting the grave of a fallen soldier and his conversation to him

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you

Stand up for this man
whose given everything he can,
see how he lyes in foreign lands
so I can live the life I am.
He gave tomorrow yesterday,
so we can live our lives today,
there's so much more I want to say,
but I can't find the words to pray.

Are you proud of me?
Are you proud of me?
I'll make you proud of me,
before I fall, headlong,
Into the storm it's so strong,
pulling at me , won't let me be,
into the raging sea and into the storm,
headlong,
good talking to you it's been so long.
This day by the sea,
I fall to my knees...

Guess freedom wasn't free for you and me!

hear the sound of the band
they're marching down across the sands
where mothers boy became a Man,
where nations blood like rivers ran.
No words of sorrow or disgrace,
can ever glorify this place,
the sands of time are running dry,
for me but not for those who died.

Are you proud of me?
Are you proud of me?
I'll make you proud of me and then I'll fall,
headlong, in to the storm it's so strong,
pulling at me I can't let it be,
into the raging sea and in the storm,
headlong, good talking to you it's been so long,
this day by the sea I fall to my knees..

'cause freedom wasn't free for you and me!

(Guitar solo)

Are you proud of me?
Are you proud of me?
I'll make you proud of me,
before I fall, headlong,
Into the storm it's so strong,
pulling at me , won't let me be,
into the raging sea and into the storm,
headlong,
good talking to you it's been so long.
This day by the sea,
I fall to my knees...

'Cause freedom wasn't free for you and me!

headlong,
Into the storm it's so strong,
pulling at me , I can't let it be,

'cause freedom wasn't free for you and me!
