.When I lay my head down every night
and go to sleep in peace,
.I can stay there knowing all is well,
while you're standing on your feet.
.Keeping watch, protecting shore to shore,
in the air and oceans, too,
.defending freedom at all cost,
for the red, white and the blue.
.Thank you, oh thank you,
men and women brave and strong,
.To those who served so gallantly
we sing this grateful song.
.To the soldiers who have traveled on
to countries far and near,
.in peace and war you paid the price
for the cause you hold so dear.
.That we may wake each morning bright,
and know that freedom rings,
.because of your great sacrifice,
your country joins to sing:
.Thank you, oh thank you,
men and women brave and strong,
.To those who served so gallantly
we sing this grateful song.
.Thank you, oh thank you,
men and women brave and strong,
.To those who served so gallantly
we sing this grateful song.
