Verse 1
I asked my grandpa’s best friend today
As we were leavin’ the good man’s wake
What kept you buddies for so many years?
He said “son, we were there”
Chorus 1
We were there, we were the sons of liberty
Fought side by side on the sands of Normandy
When duty called, him and I we did our share
Yah son we were there
Verse 2
See we were brothers, brothers in arms
From the battlefield, back to neighbors on the farm
You had to be there son to really understand
What it means to serve your fellow man
Chorus 2
We were there when Martin Luther had his dream
We were there saw JFK, heard the sirens scream
We were there for our sons in Vietnam
We were there for this great land
Bridge
There was the day liberty cried
We saw the towers crashing down, as three thousand heroes died
We stood as one never to fear, and yah son we were there
Down verse
And now you lay there under the red white and blue
Your voice is still, but I can still hear you, sayin’
Chorus 3
We were there, we were the sons of liberty
For America, home of the brave, land of the free
When duty called, you and I we did our share
Yes we did, yes we did
End Chorus
We were there, on 9/11 they attacked
We were there, Afganistan and for Iraq
We were there, and I’d say we got ‘em back
Yah son we were there
Yes old friend, yes we were there
