Did I Ever Tell You?

Did I ever tell you? Of a time Of a land Where we fought Where we lived For ideals When a cause was right How we never lost Yet, we faded in to the night Did I ever tell you? Of African stars So bright As we camped in the bush Waiting for first light Did I ever tell you? Your first contact The one you remember so vividly When Mike died The casevac... How they tried They couldn't keep him The tears How we all cried... Did I ever tell you? Of the bond of men Sharing our last water Waiting for resupply Remember when....... Did i ever tell you? That Rhodesians Are scattered to the four winds Yet, Themselves They remember The Mikes The contacts Of African stars Of African sky Of dense bush The 11th of November U.D.I Did I ever tell you? You cannot destroy What lies in the heart Many have tried Rhodesians survive Everywhere We can look back At a time Of a land Where we fought and lived With pride
