The U.S. Army Airborne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For we're the soldiers of liberty
Some fly their gliders through the enemy
Others are sky paratroopers
We're all-American and fight we will
Till all the guns of the foe are still (get ready)
Airborne from skies of blue, we're coming through, let's go
Put on your boots, your parachutes
Get all those gliders ready to attack today
For we'll be gone, into the dawn
To fight them all the 82nd way, hey, hey
We're all-American and proud to be
For we're the soldiers of liberty
Some fly their gliders through the enemy
Others are sky paratroopers
We're all-American and fight we will
Till all the guns of the foe are still (get ready)
Airborne from skies of blue, we're coming through, let's Go
The U.S. Army Airborne's song "Airborne" is a patriotic anthem that celebrates the bravery and valor of American soldiers who fought for liberty during World War II. Through powerful lyrics, the song evokes the spirit of the American military and their unwavering dedication to the country. The song begins by proudly proclaiming the soldiers' all-American heritage and their allegiance to liberty. It mentions the glider pilots who flew into enemy territory and paratroopers who bravely jumped from the skies to defend their country.
In the second verse, the song calls the soldiers to arms, urging them to fight until all the enemy's weapons fall silent. The chorus highlights the soldiers' superior ability to launch sudden airborne attacks from the blue skies. The song encourages the soldiers to put on their boots and parachutes and get ready to fight. The last verse repeats the message of the first verse with renewed fervor and concludes the song, glorifying the American soldiers and their fight for freedom.
