A soldier makes a choice to sacrifice all for their country
Sleepless nights without their loved ones
Countless hours in the middle of nowhere
Uncertainty looming over every assignment
Fighting for freedom for all who deserve it
But are powerless to gain it
Protecting the land they call home
Often losing limbs or memories
But still willing to serve again
They’ll give anything to continue to defend their honour
And the glory of their country
We owe them so much
Our soldiers
Our warriors
Our heroes
Honour
Our defenders
Our protectors
Aid them in their time of need
Don’t leave them begging for all to see
When the need you
Give them your hand
When they see you
Don’t turn away
When they need your understand them
Hear what they say
A hero was not bred to say
I need you
But still yet
They will need you
So
Open your arms
Open your heart
Open your doors and receive them
Judgment free
I Fight For You!©
