For reasons more than one, I have realised,
Unworthy of your protection we are, and of your sacrifice.
Still, time and again you have responded, you have prioritized,
Acting swiftly on domestic needs, on foreign battle cries.
We thank you today for this free land, these free blue skies,
For the bricked strong wall, cemented steady with your lives.
