Citizen / Soldier

Beyond the boundries of your city's lights Stand the heroes waiting for your cries So many times you did not bring this on yourself When the moment finally comes I'll be there to help On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care I'll be right here Citizen soldiers Holding the life of the ones that we guide from the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there When there's people crying in the streets When they're starving for a meal to eat When they simply need a place to make their beds Right here underneath my wing you can rest your head On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care I'll be right here Citizen soldiers Holding the life of the ones that we guide from the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there Hope and pray that you never need me But rest assured I will not let you down I walk beside you but you may not see me The strongest among you may not wear a crown On the day when you need your brothers and sisters to care I'll be right here On that day when you don't have the strength for the burden you bear I'll be right here Citizen soldiers Holding the life of the ones that we guide from the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there
