|
A soldier boy and his violin / |
|
Uneasy wartime ballet / |
|
Omaha Beach / |
|
Normandy on |
|
D-Day / As his fellow man lay dying / |
|
And crimson tide colored the shore / |
|
Sons cried for their mothers / |
|
Bitter pill of war / |
|
He strikes the strings / |
|
His heart is on parade / |
|
Knows one day he'll be gone / |
|
But his melody will stay / |
|
A teenage boy in his attic / |
|
Finds a case tattered and torn / |
|
His father's violin / |
|
Companion through the war / |
|
He dusts off the fiddle / |
|
And raises up to his chin / |
|
What the old leave behind / |
|
And what the young begin |
