S. I. Rednow - Ten-Hut

Who are the ones that will fight for your right
Who answers a country in need
Who are the ones that keep watch overnight
Who are these soldiers indeed

Who jumps at the chance to defend how we live
Who's first to charge into the fray
Who gives their all until no more to give
Who's risking their life for a way

Who cares for those that return without limb
Who wins when the budget reverts
Who's bills go unpaid when benefits trim
Who's getting what Congress diverts

Who marches on when it could be the end
Who's families sustain them with love
Who throws themselves in the way for a friend
Who's God saw it all from above
