Citizen Soldier Lyrics

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 the moment finally comes, I'll be there to help
And 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've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there
When there're 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've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there
Hope and pray, that you never need me But rest assured I will not let you down I walk beside you, but you may not see me The strongest among you may not wear a crown Citizen soldier
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've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there
Citizen soldiers Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered We'll always be ready because we will always be there

Tell Us What These Lyrics Mean To You...

*VV:)*

this song really inspires me because alot of my family is in the army and air force and my 25 yr old cousin is heading 4 germany while my 18 year old cousin is training in the corps camps.

Well, This song is aimed more trowed our Citizen Soldiers, Our National Guard. They don't get much recognition. They are referred to as Citizen Soldiers because they are Civilians until they are needed. They train once a month, and for 2 weeks a year, they train non stop. They are the most used in Wars, and they are the first to respond in natural disasters. They are also the Oldest Branch of the Military. My husband is in the Tennessee National Guard, and is in Iraq right now. God speed to the 278th ACR!!

This is an AWSOME SONG!!! Listen to these three songs back to back in this order, it sounds like that are tied in to one another: "Citizen Soldier, Kryptonite, When I'm Gone". This is real scary how they all tie in. It's kinda like Wicard of Oz meets Pink Floyd.

Excellent Transcription with a few corrections: CHANGE boundries TO boundaries CHANGE On that day... (first time only) TO And on that day... CHANGE When there's people... TO When there're people... CHANGE ...the burning you bear... TO ...the burden you bear... Thanks for your great work getting these lyrics transcribed!
