They stood for peace, they stood for light, They stood together through the night. They left their homes, their friends, their town, They gave it all, they laid life down. Through darkened skies and days of dread, They kept our hopes and dreams ahead. They braved the cold, the fear, the pain, They battled storms and endless rain. They fought for days so we live right now, For peace to last, they took a vow. They dreamed of what the world could be, A place for all, for you and me. They held their courage, hearts so true, So, we could build a future new. They knew their fight would shape the way, For children to be safe and to laugh and play. They carried faith, they carried pride, They left their mark, they paid the cost, For peace to bloom, for hate to frost. For freedom's light , they took the stand, To guard our lives, to guard our land. So now we stand, our heads held high, And thank those heroes who said goodbye. They gave their all, they gave their best, So future hearts could live and rest.
