Where flies the flag of freedom,
Turn your head and we’ll be there.
We’re the soldiers who stand between you
And a world that isn’t fair.

We stand here shoulder to shoulder,
Our arms we bear with pride.
We know this too we shall overcome,
For our brothers are by our side.

So as you celebrate your freedoms,
With your barbeques and good cheer.
We’re standing on the frontlines,
Just remember we’re still here.

And when at night you go to sleep,
Unafraid and safe in bed.
Remember it’s we who face the dark,
Who face the danger in your stead.

So each day let’s thank the soldiers,
And all other armed forces too.
They’re the ones to whom you owe it all,
They’ve secured it all for you.
