• Away from your family
    And all your old friends
    You fight for our freedom
    Until the day ends.

    But no one knows
    The heroic acts you take,
    No one knows the horror
    You go through every day.

    All those back home
    Look down on the violence
    But none of them know
    How it really happens.

    If they knew the true story
    Then no one would protest
    No one would fight or shout out
    No one would look down
    On what you’ve done for us.

    I am grateful that you
    Would sacrifice your happy unknown
    So I could keep mine.

    And I am truly humbled
    You have given up so much
    Just to keep us free.
