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

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!
