How lucky are we,
Who live in the land of the free?

Struggle and strife
Gave us the life
That allowed us to be free.
Let's not forget the sacrifices of so many.

Our fathers and grandfathers who went to war
To protect us from those who threatened our freedom.
To protect the freedom of everyone
Even on many a distant shore.

From the youngsters drafted,
To the lifetime soldiers,
I salute you all.
