Forever, I'm Dreaming of Home- World War I

A Tribute to the soldiers who fought for both the Allied and the Central Powers. Set to the song, "I'm Dreaming of Home" from the film Joyeux Noel. Video clips and pictures from FirstWorldWar.com

Lyrics:
I hear the mountain birds
The sound of rivers singing
A song I've often heard
It flows through me now
So clear and so loud
I stand where I am
And forever I'm dreaming of home
I feel so alone, I'm dreaming of home

It's carried in the air
The breeze of early morning
I see the land so fair
My heart opens wide

There's sadness inside
I stand where I am
And forever I'm dreaming of home
I feel so alone, I'm dreaming of home

This is no foreign sky
I see no foreign light
But far away am I
From some peaceful land
I'm longing to stand
A hand in my hand
Forever I'm dreaming of home.

Those old black and white photos of German and English and French soldiers being together, one may consider them as the most precious photographs a camera has ever taken. They will forever stand as a proof that all men are essentially brothers ...

God bless those soldier's souls, they gave a shining example for humanity, and may it never be forgotten.

My great grdpa died at the second World War killed by Germans as a hero to save France <3 I don't hate germans , english or whoever :)!

I hate how WW1 was just forgotten in the world. Sure we still study it and learn about it. But its all about WW2 for some reason. WW1 was more brutal and deadly than WW2 to me. (With all the new ways they created to kill each other, ex: Aircraft, Poison Gas, submarine warfare *even though they were used earlier. I mean actual warfare not recon/stuff like that* More accurate weapons, tanks, mass production of Machine guns etc...)

"The next time we met was at Appomattox, and the first thing that General Grant said to me when we stepped inside, placing his hand in mine was, "Pete, let us have another game of brag, to recall the days that were so pleasant." Great God! I thought to myself, how my heart swells out to such magnanimous touch of humanity. Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?"

This is "Hymne des Fraternisés: I'm dreaming of home", by Natalie Dessay, on Amazon. So y'all can find it.

Here dead we lie

Because we did not choose

To live and shame the land

From which we sprung.

Life, to be sure,

Is nothing much to lose,

But young men think it is,

And we were young.
