The sun rises and they march on
Steel in hand till the break of dawn
For the land where the brave belong
Their spirit's fierce their heart is strong
Oh they're the guardians of our dreams
Through the valleys and the streams
In their eyes the freedom gleams
American soldiers it redeems
From the cities to the fields so wide
They carry hope on this wild ride
With every step they're side by side
For the glory they will not hide
Oh they're the guardians of our dreams
Through the valleys and the streams
In their eyes the freedom gleams
American soldiers it redeems
Their stories told in whispers' song
Of battles fought of standing strong
In every heart they still belong
The echoes of their courage long
The flag that waves above their head
For the blood and tears they've shed
With honor every oath they've said
In freedom's name they're never misled
