Lyrics
Born on the plains
A farmer's sons and brothers the same
Raised on promises
We'd stay that way
As boys, we believed
Summers at the sea, we were free
To become men of good will
Side by side
And we were children then
Footprints in the sand
And where the ocean bends
We made our promises
He knows
Duty soon called
1943, we enrolled
Together we would be
Our family's pride
And we were soldiers then
Our bodies in the sand
And like that sand through our hands
Go our grandest plans
And just to see your face for one moment
I'd cross the ocean again
The end
Is not the end
And I'll be by your side
On the other side
I'll be by your side
On the other side
And through the cloud of death
We find our way back home
And though I hold your hand
All must go alone
And when you see the face of our Maker
You don't have to be ashamed
He knows
The promises we made
And I'll be by your side
On the other side
I'll be by your side
On the other side
