Karen Waldrup - Normandy

(Machine guns going and dropping the bombs)
(And that's just the way things went)
(And would I do it again? Damn right I would)

101st, first to fight
On the 6th of June
To save the world that night
1944
Never fought before
Teenage kids all geared up
Ready to win that war
We sat outside his hand built home
And he told me about his life
A hundred years old
Remembrin' every moment of that fight

"In the morning
The storms rolled in
It was completely silent
Jumpin' into open fire
Explosion one continuous flame
a hell of a sight to see
Normandy, Normandy"

He said, "That's another thing
They don't understand
We had to win the war or risk losing this free land"
We sat outside his hand built home
And he turned on the porch light
I asked him if he'd do it again?
And he said "You're damn right"

In the morning
The storms rolled in
It was completely silent
Jumpin' into open fire
Explosion one continuous flame
a hell of a sight to see
Normandy, Normandy

Yeah, the odds were stacked against 'em
And nothing added up
But somehow by the grace of God, it was enough
They held on 'cause they had too
But some had to give it up

In Normandy, Normandy
Never forget the hero's who kept us free
In Normandy, Normandy
And sacrificed it all that day, in
Normandy

(You're as viable to this country today, as we were in World War II)
(And don't you ever forget it)
