Citizen Soldier

There is this one movie theatre that we occasionally go to. Before each movie, they play this one music video by 3 Doors Down. The song is called Citizen Soldier. The video is used for a recruiting advertisement for the National Guard, but the message that is portrayed is incredible! Our nation is blessed with the men and women who represent this country and put themselves in harms way whether it is in foreign or domestic lands. When you pray, don't forget to say a quick prayer for our soldiers as well. If you run into someone who has served or is serving right now, don't shy away from giving them a smile and shaking their hand and just saying thank you.



Lyrics
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 the 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.

[[Chorus]]
Citizen soldiers.
Holding the light for 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.

[[Chorus]]

Hope and pray, that you never need me.
The 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 strength for the burden you bear.
I'll be right here.

[[Chorus]]
