Lyrics

Far from home in darkness, my brothers and I
Watch as the night fades to morning
Another day closes, another begins
It's good to see daylight again
Sharing our thoughts, standing watch till first light
We talk of our loves and our lives
Keeping the faith, fighting the fight
Steadfast at our post through the night

As you count all your blessings when it's time for your prayers
Remember the ones over here
Keeping you safe while you sleep through the night
We battle and fight for what is right, my brothers and I

Though the cost that we bear seems quite more than the price
Sadly, there's no compromising
Innocent children lay dead in the streets
Visions we'll forever keep
So throw out your voices and speak from the night
Then look at the scars upon our face
Love us, don't leave us
Don't judge us for this, we're defending your rights and your bliss

So please count your blessings when it's time for your prayers
And remember the ones who died here
Keeping you safe while you slept through the night
Throughout time, we fought the good fight, my brothers and I
My brothers and I

Our watch is finally done for the day
As a new post begins for some others
It's hard to find comfort so far from your home
But it's good to have so many brothers

Steeped in a pride for a nation that weeps
Duty and honor prevail
Forever linked by the conflicts at hand
Bonds brought together by sand

So please count your blessings when it's time for your prayers
And remember the ones over here
Keeping you safe all through the night
Forever, we'll keep up the fight
Forever, my brothers and I
My brothers and I
My brothers and I
Forever, my brothers and I
