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
