| Here we are | |
| Alive and free | |
| Far away in time from our darkest day | |
| That took our young and brave | |
| From the cradle to the grave 70 years ago on | |
| July one 1916 on the | |
| Somme The enemies had never seen fighting like this before | |
| Such a simple plan-- | |
| How could any german man survive through that ordeal? | |
| Company 'A' to | |
| Company 'B' "Morale is high here, sir, but I don't think it's safe to go" | |
| Company 'A' from | |
| Company 'B' "Mister you have your orders and you must obey" | |
| So the first line rose, and the first line fell | |
| And a poet who survived later wrote about | |
| A "Sunlit vision of Hell" | |
| And "Larks singing" | |
| Because after all it's just another summer's day in | |
| France And the | |
| Tommies on the | |
| Somme sang "We are fighting to turn no-man's land into a common ground" | |
| A common ground |
