"Starting All Over"
Land Of The Free : Lyrics
©2002 JR Schembre
Mary saw the bombs in 1941
Her youthful world turned upsidedown when she saw what they had done
She lived in a world of fear, she lost things that she held dear
She dreamed one day she'd sail across the sea
Austin heard the call in 1944
He was only seventeen when he went off to war
He knew he was in God's hands
When he stepped off the boat and into the sand
He dreamed of home and the place he longed to be
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave
We know that we've got something, that's worth everything to save
And our banner will rise, and forever will wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave
Austin met Mary, and they raised a family
They grew to be soldiers and sailors, airmen, and marines
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave
We know that we've got something, that's worth everything to save
And our banner will rise, and forever will wave
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave
Mary saw the planes in the year 2001
Her youthful world turned upside-down when she saw what they had done
But her grandma opened a shadow box
And she took the girl outside
She raised Austin's flag to the top of the pole she said 'Here's the way we show our pride!'
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave
We know that we've got something, that's worth everything to save
And our banner will rise, and forever will wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave
