The First Soldier
Before the war, he wanted more
And ran away from home
The war to end all wars had called his name
Outcast, an unlikely soldier
Barely worth his uniform
Emerging as a devil dressed in blue
Being the lone survivor
At the trenches in Alsace
One man holds the line
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless
As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home, coming home
Let his story be known
Glorious, victorious
Protector of the tomb
Memories of his deeds, the cross of war
He's a decorated soldier
He's the pride of the uniform
Echoes from the past his story told
Lined up for execution
Saved his captain's life
One man holds the line
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless
As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home, coming home
Let his story be known
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless
As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home, coming home
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless
As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home, coming home
Let his story be known
And ran away from home
The war to end all wars had called his name
Outcast, an unlikely soldier
Barely worth his uniform
Emerging as a devil dressed in blue
Being the lone survivor
At the trenches in Alsace
One man holds the line
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless
As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home, coming home
Let his story be known
Glorious, victorious
Protector of the tomb
Memories of his deeds, the cross of war
He's a decorated soldier
He's the pride of the uniform

One man holds the line
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France

As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road

Coming home, coming home

From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless

Coming home, coming home
From the south to the front to the battlefield
From a farm to a hero of France
Served his country courageous and fearless
As he halts the Kaiser's advance
From the south to the front into no man's land
From a farm to the end of the road
Son of France, he's the first on the frontline
Coming home, coming home
Let his story be known
