The resistance

The resistance
they walked proudly in
the brightness of that day

Comrades in arms
with flags held high
in unity of solidarity
beneath the barricades
under a flaming sun

Two percent stood that day
against the odds
they won the day and
Occupied France fell away

Mothers with children
fathers and sons
brothers and sisters all

In the streets that
all was held at bay
Paris was theirs once again
a right of spring that’s ode to joy
for a country set free
