Proud To Be a Soldier - [Lyrics by Joe Tennessee, Sara, Liwe, Janneke and Bente]

Joe:
I'm proud to serve my country
To be the last line of defence
To fight for what's worth fighting for
Nothing more and nothing less

Students:
In our hearts with pain and sorrow
You have carved a special place
We are proud to have our soldiers fighting
For us, as brave as they are

Joe:
I'm proud to be a soldier
A strong believe in what is wrong or right
Standing shoulder to shoulder side by side
Willing to bleed and ready to fight

Students:
And as long as our hearts are beathing
We will fight for our land
We are grateful to them all forever
What is broken, we can mend

Joe:
We're all so different
Our loyalty is just a way of life
But when the wolves standing at our gates
It's in my blood, it's in my veins

We never back down
Wear our uniforms with pride
We stand on that wall
So, you can sleep at night

Joe and students:
I'm not asking you to follow our footsteps
Just remember our deeds
It's not just a fase, but a choice of life
We'll go where destiny leads
We'll go where destiny leads
