A Moment In Time [Cinco De Mayo] By Buzz Keiper 4.3.10 [start with chorus/refrain:] Cinco De Mayo was a moment in time, when tyranny ran; when freedom rang on Cinco De mayo, Napoleon’s troops..... were stopped in the mud, by courage & blood, for a moment in time.. [on final chorus add:] for just a moment in time, only a moment in time.... d.c. al fine... 1 Napoleon’s army, was the best in the world; without defeat, fifty years or more sent to the new world, to force his will on a nation in strife, struggling to rise, from colonial rule Ch; 2 Outgunned & outnumbered, on the Mexican side, they fought for their freedom, they fought for their lives against a foreign invader, whose guns they defied; they showed the world it could be done, they wouldn’t run Ch 3 This Mexican victory, though just a moment in time, helped to change history, to change hearts and minds to seize their own destiny, from foreign hands, an' drive the invader out of their lives, out of their land Ch [final chorus as above] |
