Therell Always Be an England - Vera Lynn

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.

I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.

May this fair dear land we love so well

In dignity and freedom dwell.

Though worlds may change and go awry

While there is still one voice to cry

There’ll always be an England

While there’s a country lane,

Wherever there’s a cottage small

Beside a field of grain.

There’ll always be an England

While there’s a busy street,

Wherever there’s a turning wheel,

A million marching feet.

Red, white and blue;

what does it mean to you?

Surely you’re proud, shout it aloud,

«Britons, awake!»

The empire too, we can depend on you.

Freedom remains.

These are the chains

Nothing can break.

There’ll always be an England,

And England shall be free

If England means as much to you

As England means to me.
