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.
|
|
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 shelter.
|
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.
|
|
When there's 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.
|
but 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]]
