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
