A
SMALL PRICE TO PAY
They
wait until that call and never question why
They
hold their families and their Country closest to their heart
They
serve both you and me loyal from the start
It
is not war, but love that draws them to the fight
It
is their sacrifice that keeps us from the night
They
are soldiers true, but Canadians to the core
It
is our freedom and democracy
that
they are fighting for
It
is not the poet, nor the protester that have given us our right
It
is the blood of soldiers that has kept us from the night
We
must not forget them marching off to war
Because
in the end it was you and me
That
they were fighting for
We
often forget the sacrifice they made so we can live
Remembering
is a small small price compared to what they give….
