A dedication to our troops
The path that we follow
    the road that we take
The decision is ours
    freely to make
The gift to us given
    by those long gone
Who died to deliver
    our freedom's dawn.
To keep the gift safe
    our troops keep up the fight
They stand and take guard
    through both day and night
These men and women protect us
    from what each day might bring
It is to them that we owe
    the ability to hear freedom's ring.
