remembering to stand strong and true.

this song is a real testament and tribute to our canadian military.



i hear the guns i feel the fire
with my last breath my spirit flies
and i see the faces of my friends
fighting till the end
so many fearless hearts

i feel their courage and their pain
their lives should never be in vain
from heaven's gate a perfect view
a plain and simple truth -
is lighting up the dark

love one another that stranger is your brother
leave a footprint, everywhere you go
keep yesterday for giving, today just for living
say a prayer every night for tomorrow

i pray the past can teach us all
before another hero falls
before another mother cries, forever asking why
(why oh why)

can't we love one another that stranger is your brother
leave a footprint everywhere you go
(everywhere you go)
keep yesterday for giving, today just for living
say a prayer every night for tomorrow

standing strong and true, on guard for me and you
standing strong and true, on guard for me and you

so we can love one another that stranger is your brother
leave a footprint everywhere you go
keep yesterday for giving
today just for living
say a prayer every night for tomorrow

bless the true believers
who stand and fight for freedom
so we can live in peace right here at home
live in peace at home

keep yesterday for giving, today just for living
say a prayer every night for tomorrow

say a prayer every night for tomorrow


both jacob & robyn got to carry their class wreaths yesterday, for the remembrance day assembly at their school. i got to be there, too. to witness the absolute JOY and HONOUR it was for them.

so very proud to be a canadian, and on this day - remembrance day - to remember those who have given so much. may we never take for granted all that was and is being sacrificed.

"greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." --john 15:13

also, thinking and praying for my brother-in-law in afghanistan. come home safely, jon. we're standing...and waiting for you.
