Pray for the Guardians of Freedomcountry as flag
I will never bow, I will never falter.
I will stand firm, like the rock of Gibraltar.
Though storms may come and winds may howl.
I have stood for freedom and I stand there now.
Freedom isn't free and its cost must be paid.
With blood, sweat and tears, I, will ply my trade.

Though our enemies be many and may come near.
The sanctity, of your home, I will protect and hold dear.
I will stand through hottest day and darkest night.
For my cause is your freedom, which is just and right.
I ask but little when much I may need.
When you prepare for sleep would You, pray for me?

Lonely and far from home still I stand.
A world away in a distant desert land.
When you think of me shed no tears.
For I believe in my cause, your freedom, I hold dear.
Freedoms cost, many of us, have and will pay.
But without our freedom, what is life anyway.

As you prepare for sleep, ready for slumber.
Remember me, one of a great number.
We stand tonight on freedoms frontier.
To protect the children, you hold so dear.
When praying is tough and times are hard.
Please remember to pray for us who are on guard.
