lyrics

Normandy, she is braver than me
She has seen more beds in a hospital that a child should ever see
She said jokingly that soon she'll be bald like me
Her sense of humor gets her through chemotherapy
She always makes the nurses laugh and she sticks out her tongue
They all have funny stories about what Normandy has done

CHORUS:
Another day, another victory
A victory for Normandy
Life against an invisible enemy
She made it to another birthday. She turned 13 (16) (18)
It was the 6th of June, It was a delightful day
Another day, another victory, a victory for Normandy
Against the odds she made it to see 13 (16) (18)

Normandy has seen things she should never see
All her friends around her are sick or dying
Sometimes she calls for her mother, in the middle of the night
But the bad dreams don't go away when she turns on the light
But she's made a lot of friends. She always tries to make them laugh.
Some of them got better but some of them have passed

Normandy, her nickname is “the general”
She calls the doctors her allies and the nurses her troops
To Normandy, all the nurses they salute
It's the little things that get them through the day
But the doctors said she wouldn't make it to see 18
So, on her 18th birthday, she came to visit and say...
“Another Day! Another victory! A victory for me!
You said I would never live to see 18!”
She stuck out her tongue and she yelled..
“Oh yeah, Here I am... I'm 18... Look at me!”
