This is a mission with a story, Keepers of the Peace
“They'd think about the lives they'd save, But not the one they'd risk”
Hear the mines exploding, Acres of infected land
Many casualties a month, Saved by their brave hands, Canadian hands
A soldier saw the sadness, In the eyes among the ruins
And tried to raise their spirits, With handmade dolls from home
A Gift of small proportion, Crocheted and freely shared
To cheer the grieving children, After ravages of war
To fit a soldiers pocket,
Who understood their toll
It won the people's smiles and hearts, This homemade Izzy Doll
Bigger things began to happen, As they gained civilians trust
Invitations and directions, Revealed secrets in the dust
Our soldier served for strangers, In a country far away
Left a legacy for Canada, With the headway they had gained,
And the peace they made
Touch a thousand Izzy dolls, Given out in war torn lands
Held with love, restoring hope, In the children's tiny hands
A Gift of small proportion, Cannot be bought or sold
Keepers of the Peace, Giving hope around the world
To fit a soldiers pocket, Who understood their toll
It won the people's smiles and hearts this homemade Izzy Doll,
This homemade Izzy Doll...
