Brave Soldierscountry as flag
Thousands of soldiers
March off to war
While millions of teardrops
Fall to the floor

For the brave soldiers
Who march off to war
Are fathers, husbands, sons and brothers
And so each soldier leaves behind
A grieving child, wife, father or mother

Our soldiers are brave, dedicated
Devoted, proud and true
And at times they must feel
Just as me and you

Weary, tired
Scared and alone
Feeling as if
They may never get home

Oh, but brave soldiers
You are never alone
For our hearts are all with you
Beckoning you home

So remember brave soldier
When you feel all hope is gone
Reach deep inside yourself
And find the strength to carry on

Lift up your tired leg
With that heavy boot you carry
And march on brave soldier
March on

For each step you take
Brings you one step closer home
