The Legendary Ten Seconds - The Daily Exodus

They left their battered city every single day
Returning in the morning from March and into May
At night the German bombers would then arrive
To try to ensure that no buildings might survive

The spirit of the people would still prevail
To break their resolve Herman Goring would fail
Make do and mend until the war's end
Despite all the anguish that's so hard to comprehend

The flames in city lighting up the night sky
From France to Devon the Luftwaffe would fly
The people would trek out to avoid another raid
All the Plymouth citizens feeling so afraid

The spirit of the people would still prevail
To break their resolve Hermann Goring would fail
Make do and mend until the war's end
Despite all the anguish that's so hard to comprehend

Every afternoon leaving for the countryside
The city air raid shelters were not a safe place to hide
For so many nights their blitzed city would burn
The next day to the devastation they would return

The spirit of the people would still prevail
To break their resolve Hermann Goring would fail
Make do and mend until the war's end
Despite all the anguish that's so hard to comprehend
Despite all the anguish that's so hard to comprehend
