D-day

(intro) In the quiet of dawn, before the battle's cry, Men of valor gathered, ready to defy. With hearts filled with hope and a mission so grand, They sailed across waters to a distant land. The stakes were so high, the world held its breath, As they faced the storm, defying death. From the skies above and the seas below, They marched into history, their courage aglow. (verse) In the early dawn, we stormed the shore, Utah Beach was the start of the war. The stakes were so high, freedom’s call, We came from land and air to break the wall. Thousands of brave men, with courage so grand, Fought for the future on Normandy's sand. (chorus) The sun hidden by planes with stripes of black and white, Boats sweeping channel waves, bringing brave souls to the fight As they faced the horizon, they knew it was time (It was time) to push them back, their spirits wouldn't sway, So many lives lost in sands, Oh Normandy, the longest day. (verse) Omaha's waves were fierce and red, With each step forward, so many fell dead. The stakes were so high, the mission was clear, To free Europe once again, we cast aside our fear. Thousands of brave men, their hearts filled with fire, On Omaha’s bloodied sand, they faced the reich. The stakes were so high, the mission was clear, To free Europe once again, we cast aside our fear. Thousands of brave men, their hearts filled with fire, On Omaha’s bloodied sand, they faced the reich. (chorus) The sun hidden by planes with stripes of black and white, Boats sweeping channel waves, bringing brave souls to the fight As they faced the horizon, they knew it was time (It was time) to push them back, their spirits wouldn't sway, So many lives lost in sands, Oh Normandy, the longest day. (verse) Gold Beach glistened in the morning light, Through smoke and flame, we joined the fight. The stakes were so high, for every town and lane, We came from land and air to free Europe once again. Thousands of brave men, determined and bold, On Gold Beach they stood, their stories untold. (verse) Gold Beach glistened in the morning light, Through smoke and flame, we joined the fight. The stakes were so high, for every town and lane, We came from land and air to free Europe once again. Thousands of brave men, determined and bold, On Gold Beach they stood, their stories untold. (chorus) The sun hidden by planes with stripes of black and white, Boats sweeping channel waves, bringing brave souls to the fight As they faced the horizon, they knew it was time (It was time) to push them back, their spirits wouldn't sway, So many lives lost in sands, Oh Normandy, the longest day. (verse) At Juno’s edge, the Canadians led, With hearts of steel, and blood they bled. The stakes were so high, no turning back, The future of freedom was under attack. Thousands of brave men, with valor and pride, At Juno they fought, and many had died. (chorus) The sun hidden by planes with stripes of black and white, Boats sweeping channel waves, bringing brave souls to the fight As they faced the horizon, they knew it was time (It was time) to push them back, their spirits wouldn't sway, So many lives lost in sands, Oh Normandy, the longest day. (verse) Sword Beach saw the fearless fight, With every step, they claimed the night. The stakes were so high, a new dawn to see, We came from land and air to make Europe free. Thousands of brave men, their legacies carved, On Sword Beach they battled, and freedom they starved. (bridge) On Normandy's shores, the brave did stand, Their sacrifice written in the bloodied sand. The stakes were so high, but freedom's light, Shone through the darkness of that longest night.
