You asked if I could help my little brother understand
Why I am a soldier in a foreign land
Why we leave our comforts and our freedoms to stay
And stand in harms way
It might have been adventure that I sought to seek
But I stay to protect the innocent and weak
Though my homeland wonders why we just don't quit
"It's no job for a soldier but only a soldier can do it"

In Harms way
Citizens of planet Earth
Our hands can reach with acts of peace
To neighbourhoods where need is great
And ethnic hatred fuels the heat
Where chaos reigns by nature or manmade
We'll stand... in harms way

A soldier leaves an imprint for the greater good
Their sweat and skills even their lives to save a suffering world
De-mining countrysides to make it safer for civilians
Mark died but left the Izzy Doll to cheer the war torn children
Nichola's spirit carries on to light a troubled world
ICROSS Canada feeds and aids the
poorest of the poor
Andrew was a medic who believed
peace had a chance
His legacy of Boomer Caps will warm
the heads of infants
All have stood... In harms way...

We'll stand... in harms way
Is it any wonder why we stand
and stay, In Harms Way
