I wish I could be there now
But duty calls, I take my vow
Serving my family, friends, and all
Protecting freedoms, answering the call

I serve you, with all my heart
Though I may be torn apart
Guarding rights, from dusk till dawn
In the land where freedom's born

There are those who seek to take away
The liberties we cherish every day
Freedom of speech, religion's light
I stand firm, ready to fight

I may not make it back home
My life's a gamble, fate's unknown
But please, ensure my family's care
In their hearts, let my memory flare

I serve you, with all my heart
Though I may be torn apart
Guarding rights, from dusk till dawn
In the land where freedom's born

Through trials and battles, I remain
In the face of fear, I sustain
For the land I love, I give my all
Until the final trumpet call

So remember me, in the starry sky
As I serve with honor, even as I die
Hold fast to freedoms, never forsaken
For the sacrifices made, shall not be shaken
