To life we say give us a day

   and we will heroes be;

We will stand up for the righteous cause

   and set all people free.



We will place our bodies on the line

   against the tyranny in our time;

To be the champions of the poor and weak

   gold and glory we will not seek.



Though years may come and years may go

   and war is all we see,

Our thoughts are on our family’s dear

   in daily fantasy.  



Breath we have but death will come

   so tomorrow may not be;

But heroes all both alive and dead

   are saved in memory.

  

Our quality of life is sure

   humamity proclaims;                              

Both bravery and our brotherhood

   will stay eternal shame.
