Citizen/soldier Lyrics & Chords By 3 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 that 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

For when there're people crying in the streets
For when they're starving for a meal to eat
For when they simply need a place to make their beds
Right here underneath my wing, you can rest your head

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

Hope and pray that you'll never need me
But rest assured, I will not let you down
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me
The strongest among you may not wear a crown

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
(Citizen soldiers)
Standing on guard for the ones that we've sheltered
We'll always be ready because we will always be there
