Shields up serve your country
Swords drawn protect your land
Stand tall save your people
For in society we all need a hand

But the shield gets heavy
The arms get tired
The legs grow weary
So courage is required

To push through the pain
Assist those you love
Pray to the heavens
For help from above

To sit still
To stand straight
To love from morning early
To love from night late

You crack and crumble
Tears streaming down
But you know you can't break
It'll be seen world round

But you see the birds in the sky
Flying true north
The wings outstretched
And brings unknown assistance forth


It flies so free
With courage and pride
It ignites a strange feeling
A fire inside

You storm up the hill
New courage found
Charge forth shield sword and all
Making noise loud and proud

Find the birds courage
It’s flying strength
The fire inside
Going to great lengths

So fight for what's right
Fight for what's true
And the right way itself
Will reveal to you

Don't let others tell you
What to believe
Be like the bird
With wings up your sleeve
one of my first
