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
