G.R.A.C.E ̴ Released
God keep our
land,
Redeemed by
the soldier’s hand.
Affording us
a hard-won peace
Courage in
battle, never at ease.
Ever-remembered,
let them be released.
Released from the burden of carrying
the torch
Released from wretched memories; mind
scorched.
Flying the banner of a people set
free
Flying the banner for you and for
me.
God keep our land.
Giving up
home, hearth and heart,
Ready to
fight, from the start.
Awaiting the
call to protect and keep
Comrades-at-arms,
loyalty runs deep.
Ever-remembered,
let them be released.
Released from the burden of carrying the torch
Released from wretched memories; mind
scorched.
Flying the banner of a people set
free
Flying the banner for you and for
me.
God keep our land.
Gaining
freedom at such great cost,
Running the
gauntlet, so many lives lost.
Awakening
hope, liberty gained
Calling for
armistice; mercy reigns.
Ever-remembered,
let them be released.
Released from the burden of carrying the torch
Released from wretched memories; mind
scorched.
Flying the banner of a people set
free
Flying the banner for you and for
me.
God keep our land.
