Citizen Soldier

Citizen Soldier

Collaboration With Bill Gamblin & Myself

Beyond the boundaries of your city’s lights
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
So many times you did not bring this on yourself
When that moment finally comes, I’ll be there to help

And 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’re 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 were a crown

On that 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 bare
I’ll be right here

Citizen soldiers holding the life of the ones that we guide from the dark of despair (Citizen soldiers)
Standing on guard for the ones that we’ve sheltered
We’ll always be ready because we will always be there
