Our Nation (song)

Lyrics

When the storm rolls in and the waves run high,
There's a call that echoes through the darkened sky,
Red and white stripes cutting through the rain,
Racing toward the danger, through the wind and pain.

Coast Guard standing, always ready to go,
Through the midnight waters where the cold winds blow,
From the rocky cliffs to the harbor light,
Keeping watch over us through the endless night.

Helicopter blades beat against the gale,
Small boat crews answer every distress call,
Rescue swimmers leap into the angry sea,
Bringing hope to souls who thought they'd never be free.

Coast Guard standing, always ready to go,
Through the midnight waters where the cold winds blow,
From the rocky cliffs to the harbor light,
Keeping watch over us through the endless night.

Semper Paratus, always prepared they say,
Saving lives and protecting shores every single day,
In peacetime and wartime, they answer the call,
Silent sentinels watching over us all.

Coast Guard standing, brave and true,
Orange suits and steady hands, seeing us through,
From the Atlantic's roar to Pacific's might,
They're the guardians of our shore, our guiding light.
