Cinco de Mayo

Verse 1) In eighteen sixty-two, on Puebla's ground, Brave Mexican souls, against France they found. Under Zaragoza's command they stood, Defending their land, with courage so good. (Chorus) Cinco de Mayo, a victory we cheer, Against all odds, we held our frontier. With valor and pride, our spirits arise, Cinco de Mayo, forever in our eyes. (Verse 2) Outnumbered they were, yet they fought strong, Their bravery echoed in freedom's song. From dawn till dusk, the battle raged on, Mexican hearts, steadfast as the dawn. (Chorus) Cinco de Mayo, a victory we cheer, Against all odds, we held our frontier. With valor and pride, our spirits arise, Cinco de Mayo, forever in our eyes. (Bridge) Though not a conquest that won the war, Cinco de Mayo stands forevermore. A symbol of courage, in history's light, A beacon of hope, in the darkest of nights. (Chorus) Cinco de Mayo, a victory we cheer, Against all odds, we held our frontier. With valor and pride, our spirits arise, Cinco de Mayo, forever in our eyes. (Outro) So let's raise our voices, and toast this day, Cinco de Mayo, in our hearts it'll stay. For the triumphs of courage, we'll always say, Cinco de Mayo, forever and a day.
