Lucky to Survive.
"They told me I was so lucky to survive" "
I believed them because I was alive ".
The U-boats found us in those frozen seas, and cold freezing wintery blasts,
Leaving your mangled bodies in sea, oil, blood, and ice, floating past.
"They told me I was so lucky to survive" "
I believed them because I was alive"
Yet when I look around the country today
everything seems in such a disarray,
Truth, freedom, honour, and integrity, for
which they fought and died
Now mocked, spinned, trashed, and
contemptuously despised.
My memories grow old and weary in
the dim distant past
"Oh" how I long for that comradeship
once in our grasp
"They told me I was so lucky to survive"
If those words are really true,
Why do I long for that distant haven with all of you?
