Citizen/Soldier - 3 Doors Down

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 that 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

Citizen soldiers

Holding the light for the ones that we guide

From the dark of despair

Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered

We’ll always be ready

Because we will always be there

When there are 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

Citizen soldiers

Holding the light for the ones that we guide

From the dark of despair

Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered

We’ll always be ready

Because we will always be there

There… there… there…

Hope and pray that you’ll never need me

But rest assured I will not let you down

I’ll walk beside you but you may not see me

The strongest among you may not wear a crown

On that day when you need

Your brothers and sisters to care

I’ll be right here

On that day when you don’t have the strength

For the burden you bear

I’ll be right here

Citizen soldiers

Holding the light for the ones that we guide

From the dark of despair

Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered

We’ll always be ready

Because we will always be there
