They are coming, they are rising, Juno beach will roar today Normandy will shake and tremble beneath their wrath and might.

Only after the years have flown Do we feel how fast the days have gone Today, tomorrow, or years untold Every young heart will one day grow old

Fourteen thousand canadians on the storm-torn tide, Driven to destroy the enemy with pride, Waiting for the signal to unleash the fight, Bearing the world's fate through the fire and night, At Juno Beach the warriors will lead the way, The thunder of a nation will roar today.

Across the Channel, hidden far from hostile eyes, The free nations gathered beneath troubled skies, Soldiers, pilots, sailors united as one, Ready to answer when the call would come, Operation Overlord had finally begun.

Fourteen thousand canadians on the storm-torn tide, Driven to destroy the enemy with pride, Waiting for the signal to unleash the fight, Bearing the world's fate through the fire and night, At Juno Beach the warriors will lead the way, The thunder of a nation will roar today.

The signal was given, the waiting was done, Beneath roaring aircraft that darkened the sun, Fourteen thousand Canadians coming from the northern country Sail toward Juno Beach to face the ultimate test, Where soon the thunder of battle would be unleashed.

Horror lies ahead upon the sea, Fear grips every heart relentlessly, Yet still the brave march into the flame, For heroes act despite their fear and pain.

The crossing ended as the first men reached the shore, Under enemy fire they fought and endured more, Many would fall and never return home, Others survived and unleashed their righteous storm, Juno Beach was won as the enemy was overthrown.

Fourteen thousand canadian warriors crossed the raging tide, United as one with victory as their guide, Bearing the fate of the world with relentless pride, At Juno Beach the Canadians turned the tide, And the thunder of a nation roared far and wide And the thunder of a nation roared far and wide
