I was farming fields when suddenly There's an almighty roar above me I ran through a trail of thick black smoke To reveal a burning plane A Messerschmitt 109 Had been shot down by a Hurricane The pilot had escaped the flames Hiding out in a nearby barn, I enter There's just a man who stands in front of me Frightened, wounded acting nervously He's just a man, he's like you and me Made of flesh and blood The airman was quite distinguished He spoke a little English Holding up his arms above his head He then whispered We are just like each other So please don't fear me brother These uniforms of war divide us all There's just a man who stands in front of me Frightened, wounded acting nervously He's just a man, he's like you and me Made of flesh and blood Flesh and blood There's just a man who stands in front of me Frightened, wounded acting nervously He's just a man, he's like you and me Made of flesh and blood Well I offered him a cigarette Then handed him a light We then sat down together And he told me all about his flights He knew I had to turn him in I had to do what's right He didn't run or resist When the MPs came into sight Now years have passed Since that eventful night The visitor returned And we would reunite Two old but familiar faces The strangers both embraced This is a victory for the human race
