The Call Lyrics - Singles - Tara Oram

Well this is the story 

Of a young man who answered the call 

To fight fear and terror 

In a world where it touches us all 

Well he fought with pride 

And he gave up his life 

He left behind two little kids and a wife 

So the next time you sing these words 

Keep him in mind 

Oh we stand on guard for thee 

They`re not just the words that they say 

They`re words that the mean 

So tonight when you pray on your knees 

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters 

Of the free 

Well sometimes in this world 

We forget how we get what we`ve got 

And all the blood spent on freedom 

To some folk is quickly forgot 

Oh they`d rather talk until nothing gets done 

But sometimes you gotta fight for rights to be won 

Thank god for the special few who can get the job done 

Oh we stand on guard for thee 

They`re not just the words that they say 

They`re words that the mean 

So tonight when you pray on your knees 

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters 

Of the free 

Well now take off your hat 

And put your hand on your heart 

Don`t take your eyes off the flag 

And the next time you sing these beautiful words 

Think of the ultimate price 

That my friend paid 

Oh we stand on guard for thee 

They`re not just the words that they say 

They`re words that the mean 

So tonight when you pray on your knees 

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters 

Of the free 

Give a hug to the sisters and the brothers 

Give your love to the fathers and mothers 

Say a prayer for the sons and the daughters 

Of the free 

Well this is the story of a good man who answered the call
