Common Ground Lyrics - Singles - Iq

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 'be ' 

"Morale is high here, sir, but I don't think it's safe to go" 

Company 'A' from Company 'be ' 

"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 Tommie's on the Somme sang 

"We are fighting to turn no-man's land into a common ground" 

A common ground
