Deceased When the sun comes up Til the sun goes down We think of you a thousand times In a far off land where trouble lies So very young just girls and boys While you’re on the enemy lines We think of you a thousand times When your Country called you had to go Pick up your arms and fight the foe You are so far away from home We wish you could pick up the phone We never know how your day will end Another soldier another friend While you’re on the enemy lines We think of you a thousand times You fight and you will do your part But you’re always close within our heart We know you’ve cried but you must be brave The lives of others you try to save While you’re on the enemy line We think of you a thousand times Our prayers we offer up to you And all our soldiers so brave and true God give you courage to carry on And keep you safe from road-side bombs While you’re on the enemy line We think of you a thousand times When you come back, please God you will Soldiers proud, big boots you’ve filled You fought against the Taliban To help the people of Afghanistan While you’re on the enemy lines We think of you a thousand times O’ Canada we stand on Guard for thee Written by; Mrs. Rita Johnston of Ferryland, NL A Thousand Times
