A song about patriotism based on the allied invasion on D-Day in June of 1944
Non performing writer ONLY
I am a non performing songwriter at the moment.
Story behind the song
NOTE some slight alternations on the lyric sheet. these are the result of changes I made after recording this.
Lyrics
Sea waves crashing, rockets flashing
Higgins boat approaching land
Soldiers falling, Captains crawling
Body parts strewn cross the sand
Bombs exploding, crafts unloading
Shrapnel chopping through my hands
Courage showing, slowly growing
Moving forward, my last stand
Fire left, Fire right
Fight for my life
Shine on this light
Liberty, one up on Tyranny, tonight
Ah, we gonna beat this down tonight
Smoke clouds rising, Nazis hiding
Blasting bullets from the bluffs
Coast concealing, seawalls shielding
Hoping they will shelter us
GIs dying, brave men crying
Can't move on, not bold enough
Won't stop praying, no delaying
Rise up now, be strong enough
Fire left, Fire right
Fight for my life
Shine on this light
Liberty, one up on Tyranny, tonight
And these stained shores tell the price
I will always love you
I'll lay down my life for you
I'll defend your shores from all who come to steal them from you
How I long to see you
How I long to be with you
And if I should not return, remember all these things I do
I do for you
New fronts forming, allies storming
Pushing forward, move ahead
Paris waiting, liberating
Raising flags as freedom spreads
SS crumbling, Hitler running
Devils dancing in their heads
Rain keeps falling, death keeps calling
Treat the wounded, mark the dead
Fire left, Fire right
Fight for my life
Shine on this light
Liberty, one up on Tyranny
Yes, sweet Liberty, one up on Tyranny
Ah, sweet Liberty, one up on Tyranny, tonight
