[00:01.36]Normandy - Karen Waldrup
[00:13.83]He said he was 101st first to fight
[00:20.33]On the 6th of June
[00:22.53]To save the world that night
[00:25.22]1944
[00:28.75]Never fought before
[00:32.28]Just teenage boys all geared up
[00:36.44]Ready to win that war
[00:38.58]We sat outside his hand built home
[00:41.5]And he told me about his life
[00:44.8]100 years old
[00:47.42]Remembrin’ every moment of that fight
[00:51.02]He said, “In the morning,
[00:54.63]The storms rolled in
[00:56.93]It was completely silent
[01:00.27]Jumpin’ into open fire”
[01:02.89]Explosion one continuous flame
[01:07.1]Musta been a hell of a sight to see
[01:12.78]Normandy
[01:25.38]He said, “That’s an other thing
[01:29.15]They don’t understand
[01:31.99]We had to win the war or risk losing this free land”
[01:38.04]We sat outside his hand built home
[01:41.55]And he turned on the porch light
[01:44.619995]I asked him if he would do it again?
[01:48.45]And he said “You’re damn right”
[01:50.67]In the morning
[01:54.54]The storms rolled in
[01:57.18]Jumpin’ into open fire
[01:59.67]Explosion one continuous flame
[02:02.88]Musta been a hell of a sight to see
[02:05.29]Normandy

[02:14.27]Normandy
[02:17.99]Ooooo yeah yeah
[02:22.73]Oh, the odds were stacked against ‘em
[02:25.61]And nothing added up
[02:28.73]But somehow by the grace of God, theIr efforts were enough
[02:34.92]So this one’s for the ones we lost
[02:38.17]So I can sing this song
[02:42.49]And this one’s for the ones who never
[02:46.94]Got to make it home home
