Pride of my nation
What would've
Become our fate
Without thee?
You are next
After God o military
You're my pride
The pride of
My nation...
You watch over us
While we sleep like babies
Sacrificing your sleep to
Keep us safe against
The smile of evil men
You are next after God
My pride... the pride
Of my nation...
You sacrifice yourself
For the child unborn
For the people
You never met
For the world
To be a better place
You are next after God
O military... my pride
The pride of my nation...

For the people

To be a better place
You are next after God
O military... my pride
The pride of my nation...
