IQ - Common Ground lyrics

rate me

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
