Citizen/soldier Lyrics - Singles - Three Doors Down

Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights 

Stand the heroes waiting for your cries 

So many times you did not bring this on yourself 

When the moment finally comes, I'll be there to help 

And on that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care 

I'll be right here 

Citizen soldiers 

Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair 

Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered 

We'll always be ready because we will always be there 

When there're people crying in the streets 

When they're starving for a meal to eat 

When they simply need a place to make their beds 

Right here underneath my wing, you can rest your head 

On that day, when you need your brothers and sisters to care 

I'll be right here 

Citizen soldiers 

Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair 

Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered 

We'll always be ready because we will always be there 

Hope and pray, that you never need me 

But rest assured I will not let you down 

I walk beside you, but you may not see me 

The strongest among you may not wear a crown 

Citizen soldier 

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care 

I'll be right here 

On that day when you don't have the strength for the burden you bear 

I'll be right here 

Citizen soldiers 

Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair 

Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered 

We'll always be ready because we will always be there 

Citizen soldiers 

Holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair 

Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered 

We'll always be ready because we will always be there
