ANTHEM


by Andrea Lena DiMaggio


for my sister Kristine with gratitude!


I hope you live to see
Just what you gave to me
My dream of hope and love
Open for all to see

With a host of brave precious friends
For your company, you'll live to see the end
Here in my memory

These hearts of sacrifice
Dear ones who paid the price
Women who lived for all our sake's
Now blest with paradise?

We are all one great band of sisters
And one day you'll see we can live as we choose
When all the World is free

I wish you'll finally see
All that you gave to me
Your example to me of hope and love
That gave back my life to me

We are all one great band of sisters
And one day you'll see - we will live in freedom
For all the World to see!


to the tune of -
Requiem for A Soldier
from the HBO Series
Band of Brothers
Music by Michael Kamen
Lyrics by Frank Musker
