While You Are Defending Me


On an island of fire,
In an ocean of steel,
I witnessed Sweet Freedom, Sweet Freedom rise.
I pledge, under God, my allegience to thee,
For your Honor, your Valor,
Will never die.

So to you in the air,
And you at sea,
And you always faithful to me,
To you who roll on in the cold grey dawn,
Godspeed, while you are defending me.

In the smoking ruins of shattered peace,
Where hate, and evil, took wing to fly,
You simply say,
We roll today.
For your Honor, your Valor
Will never die.

So to you in the air,
And you at sea,
And you always faithful to me,
To you who roll on in the cold grey dawn,
Godspeed, while you are defending me.

In my prayers at night,
In my anger and fright, I cry,
How can He let this terror be?
The answer came,
I love you the same,
My father,
My brother,
My daughter,
My son,

So roll on my father,
Roll on my son,
Roll on, my husband, roll on,
Roll on, my brother in the cold, grey dawn,
Godspeed, while you are defending me.

In the world to come,
When war's night is done,
We shall see Sweet Freedom, Sweet Freedom rise.
I pledge, under God, my allegience to thee,
Godspeed, while you, are defending me.

So to you in the air,
And you at sea,
And you always faithful to me,
To you who roll on in the cold grey dawn,
Godspeed, while you are defending me.
