Brothers on the Sand
country somber acousticLyrics
[Verse]
We stormed those beaches in the dawn's gray light,
With hearts of steel and eyes on the fight.
Sand and sea met the blood and the pain,
In Normandy's fields where so many remain.
[Verse 2]
We came from country roads and city streets,
Far from the hills and where the rivers meet.
Carrying dreams in our pockets so small,
Facing the devil with courage, standing tall.
[Chorus]
Brothers on the sand, side by side,
In the face of fear, we did not hide.
With a prayer on our lips and guns in hand,
We fought for freedom on Normandy's land.
[Verse 3]
Letters from home tucked in our gear,
Whispered promises kept close, so dear.
Through the thunder of shells and the cries,
We held the line, as the world watched with eyes.
[Verse 4]
For some the battle ended on that shore,
Silent now, they would fight no more.
The waves sang a requiem in a hushed refrain,
For the lives given, so their sacrifice ain't in vain.
[Chorus]
Brothers on the sand, side by side,
In the face of fear, we did not hide.
With a prayer on our lips and guns in hand,
We fought for freedom on Normandy's land.
