Lyrics
IT?S A CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN, THERES A LOT THAT WE DON?T SEE
BEHIND THE SCENES THERE?S A WAR MACHINE THAT?S LOOKING OUT FOR YOU AND ME
FROM THE HALLS OF MONTEZUMA, FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
UP IN THE AIR, GOIN OVER THERE, ARMY NAVY AIR FORCE MARINES
WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY BACK AT HOME, THEIR LIVES ARE ON THE LINE
TO STAND AND FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, ONE LONG DAY AT A TIME
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND, THE SOLDIER AND THE VET
THE PRICE THAT THEY PAY EVERYDAY, WE CANNOT FORGET
(CHORUS)
PEACEKEEPERS
IN A WORLD THAT?S GONE TO HELL
FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM, KNOWING ONLY TIME WILL TELL
PEACEKEEPERS
STANDING PROUD AND STANDING STRONG
THIS NATION?S UNSUNG HEROES
WE?RE HERE TO SING YOUR SONG
ALWAYS ARMED AND READY TO DO WHAT MUST BE DONE
PAY THE PRICE, SACRIFICE, THE BATTLE MUST BE ONE
REMEMBER NEW YORK CITY AND THE DAY THE BUILDINGS FELL
WE?VE GOT THE BEST AND THEY WON?T REST
WHILE TERROR CASTS IT?S SPELL
(CHORUS)
PEACEKEEPERS
IN A WORLD THAT?S GONE TO HELL
FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM, KNOWING ONLY TIME WILL TELL
PEACEKEEPERS
STANDING PROUD AND STANDING STRONG
THIS NATION?S UNSUNG HEROES
WE?RE HERE TO SING YOUR SONG
