(N.C.) (G) (Em)
In that land, across the sea,
(G) (Em)
There's a job, for you and me.
(G) (Em) (D)
Though our presence there, may not be found.
(G) (Em)
We must stay standing there,
(G) (Em)
On the battle lines and pray.
(G) (D) (G)
We must ne-ver, lay our weapons down.

Many thousand’ miles away,

Someone shed their blood today.

With a weapon, that will save our home.

And when the planes and tanks and guns,
GEm
Have done all that they can do.

And the mighty bombs have rained and failed.

Still the helpful hand above,
GEm
On the weapon made of love,
GDG
And against him none on earth, prevail.
