82nd All the Way (History Version)

作曲 : Chris Rörland/Joakim Brodén

作词 : Joakim Brodén/Pär Sundström

All men are forged from a single mold,

but not all soldiers are equal.

Sort them not by medals, nor by rank:

the difference lies in their actions under pressure.

Some men crumble, some men go far...

Some men go all the way.

In the draft of 1917,

a man from Tennessee

Overseas to the trenches he went,

from the land of the free

Into war he brought two things along,

a rifle and his faith

Join the ranks as a private,

assigned to 338th

There on that day, Alvin York

Entered the fray

Saving the day

82nd all the way

Into the fires of hell,

the Argonne, a hero to be

Entered the war from over the sea

Intervene, 1918,

all the way from Tennessee

Hill 223

When his faith has been put to the test,

the call to arms he heeds

On the 8th of October he went,

made a sergeant for his deeds

Fearless, leading the raid of the war,

machinegun on the hill

Charge the enemy taking the prisoners,

by power of his will

There on that day,

Sergeant York

Entered the fray

Saving the day

82nd all the way

Into the fires of hell,

the Argonne, a hero to be

Entered the war from over the sea

Intervene, 1918,

all the way from Tennessee

Hill 223

What Sergeant York achieved that day

Would echo to the USA

It’s 82nd all the way

Death from above,

what they now say

What Sergeant York achieved that day

Echoes from France to the USA

It’s 82nd all the way

Death from above,

what they now say

Into the fires of hell,

the Argonne, a hero to be

Entered the war from over the sea

Intervene, 1918,

all the way from Tennessee

Hill 223

hell, the Argonne, a hero to be

Entered the war from over the sea

Intervene, 1918,

all the way from Tennessee

Hill 223
