our soldiers

They fought in trenches in the air and out at sea,

They fought for simple things like basic rights for you and me,

They fought and died on foreign lands,

Because they would not yield to the enemies demands,

We have our freedom because of the sacrifices that they made,

And we owe it to these men for their memory not to fade,

War isn't something that they wanted to do,

It was thrusted upon them as young men and by god they saw it through,

And now the old soldiers weary and the young ones battle on,

And we all pray that some day soon all wars they will be gone,

You've made us and make us proud that you protect us and we'll back you all the way,

And hope that you'll be home real soon and home is where you'll stay,

But until that day gets here your countries heart goes out to you,

And may god be there to guide you and help you see it through.
