Soldiers
Soldiers
Protectors, peacekeepers, sometimes quiet, always strong
Fighting for the cause, the promise, democracy, the freedom for all
Paying with life and limbs, saving broken people
But ever more standing tall, standing strong
Soldiers for our past, present and future, in spirit and combat
Defending with God’s thunder and strength
Giving it all, everything of you, sacrificing time with family
Fighting, protecting a foreign land,
full of enemies, catastrophes
No matter what always taking a stand
Fortifying the right to live safe and free
Over here and across the sea
Sacrifices of great men and women
So we can do the simplest things
You give it all, standing tall, in a blazing sun
Tropical lands and events of nature
In times of peace, in times of unrest
You are there for us, for them answering the call
Instinctively, brave men and women giving your all
