Standing on the battle field
holding to that gun
with that blank look on his face
protecting what he loves
his friends all see him
as oh so brave
but inside he's scared to death
he asks god for protection
and so far is has been sent
protecting you, protecting me
and all their families
thinking it's all they can do
that it was meant to be
fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
and as the list goes on
they fight out on that battlefield
on and on they go
they are our protectors
