Blitz

Huddled in the shelter

Waiting for the raid to be over

Goering's plan for winning

To threaten lives and killing

Our resolve to stand strong

The few, we owe so much, for so long

Battle overhead

To limit the dead

Sirens and fire every night

Children moved to avoid fright

Tells the tale of sacrifice

Some paying the ultimate price

For to rule all was Hitler's aim

But the bombs falling in his name

Did not take away our desire to be free

That's the prize earnt for you and me

So when you read of these times

Don't just focus on the crimes

Think ot everyday people and their fight

For future generations to have the right

To be all that they can be

And to call it their own country !
