  • [Verse:]
    'Twas not so long ago we sailed to meet the foe
    And thought our fighting days were done
    We thought 'twas over then but now we're in again
    To win the war that wasn't won

    [Refrain:]
    This time, we will all make certain
    That this time is the last time

    This time, we will not say "Curtain"
    Till we ring it down in their own home town

    For this time, we are out to finish
    The job we started then

    Clean it up for all time this time
    So we won't have to do it again

    Dressed up to win
    We're dressed up to win
    Dressed up for victory
    We are just beginning
    And we won't stop winning
    Till the world is free

    [Coda:]
    We'll fight to the finish this time
    And we'll never have to do it again Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
