| Silent Ranks |  |
| I stand among the silent ranks
That serves our country proud
As you fight to set us free
I shout my pride out loud.
The many goodbyes we've had to say
Have cut me very deep
But I let my scars cover it all
You fight for liberty while we sleep.
Every day I fight my tears
My weakness can't be shown
My mind and heart are filled with fear
But I represent you here at home.
You fight for the ones here at home
So my hero, we cheer you on
You risk your life every day
Until all the evil is gone.
I stand among the silent ranks
And I fly my flag up high
You watch as they burn that flag
For which you are willing to die.
This is for all the serving troops
And the families here at home
Our soldiers are able to fight
Because of all the support you've shown. | By Kelly Rickard
