This We'll Defend | The American Heritage Soundtrack - 03

[Verse 1] June of Seventeen Seventy-Five A nation's hope was brought alive Washington took command that day To lead the Army into the fray From farms and towns they joined the fight For freedom's cause was theirs by right [Chorus] This we'll defend, through fire and rain This we'll defend, again and again Duty and honor, side by side United States Army pride [Verse 2] At Trenton's shore the river froze Against the odds they faced their foes At Saratoga fortunes turned At Yorktown victory was earned The mighty empire lost its claim And a newborn nation earned its name [Chorus] This we'll defend, through fire and rain This we'll defend, again and again Duty and honor, side by side United States Army pride [Verse 3] From muskets raised through cannon fire To Abrams tanks and Black Hawks higher From muddy fields to distant sands They carried freedom in their hands The tools have changed through every age But the mission still remains the same [Chorus] This we'll defend, through fire and rain This we'll defend, again and again Duty and honor, side by side United States Army pride [Verse 4] Today they stand on every shore And seek for peace but train for war Prepared to answer freedom's call To shield the weak and guard us all And should an enemy decide to attack The Army stands to strike right back
