This Is Our Land
The red is for the blood shed
Sacrifice of the brave
Giving their lives selflessly
So that we may live free
Rushing in as heros
Never giving a second thought
Giving everything they have
Until the very last war is fought
White is for the purity
That lies within their souls
For only those pure of heart
Would sign up for such a role
Always striving for a better world
A world of freedom and peace
Standing guard day and night
As protection over you and me
Blue is for the sweat and tears
Of battles already fought and won
Never going unaware, their faithful sacrifice
We should thank each and every single one
Sacrifice is what they gave and give of themselves
Each and every single day
Whether on a battlefield in action
Or in their tomb or in their graves
Whether they are young or old
Woman or a man
This sulate is for you my friends
For your protection of our land
