At night they protect
while we sleep, safely
away in our homes.

Safely, a word they
fight to protect
for those at home they love.

Home, far away and
in their dreams, the only
protection and safety they find.

Fighting,
dreaming,
loving,
protecting,
for millions they don't know.

While we stay at home,
safe and protected by
walls they defend.

Thank those who have
fought, returned, died and
want to fight.

I want to be one.
One of many who
protect to keep their homes
safe.
