OUR GALLANT SOLDIERS

Many of our love ones are off to war
They leave us behind for distance shores
They seek out our enemies to even the score
But some of them we may never see once more

We give them our thanks and pray each day
For God to watch over them while they are away
We know they will do their duty for they are brave
To fight those who would make of us their slave

It is the Armed Forces who fight to keep us free
For they are willing to die for you and me
They will do their duty until victory is achieved
Only then will they be allowed to grieve

They are my heroes, so young, so brave and true
Fighting to protect our flag, the green, white, green
It is through them the Nigerian Spirit is renewed
And recognition for their sacrifices is long overdue

Honor them by praying for them

Living their dreams as they go to defend us

Living in peace and unity to wax strong

For through this their strength are renewed

Their wives are left behind

Children watching as their fathers go to the battle front

With no assurance they will return safely

Pray for them to sail home in peace

Our pride and safety they fight to protect

Who will protect their family?

Only God

For they are our gallant soldiers
