[Verse] Far we go back in time Old England in its prime Norman soldiers on the land History changing hand in hand [Verse 2] Norman French took the lead Old English hearts now bleed Blending words left and right New dialects in the night [Chorus] Oh the words we speak today Built on battles paved the way Norman French met English pride Together bound can't divide [Verse 3] Kings and queens did proclaim Middle English took its name Poets sang in foreign tongue Medieval songs now sung [Verse 4] Common folk and nobles too New expressions they all knew Old and new began to mix Language bound with ancient tricks [Chorus] Oh the words we speak today Built on battles paved the way Norman French met English pride Together bound can't divide
