Airborne
The U.S. Army Airborne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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
