KEEPERS
OF THE PEACE*
Lyrics by Brenda Young/ Music by Otha Young
Performed by Juice Newton
May the spirit
of pride burn in every heart
May we live side by side and not be torn apart
May we celebrate the differences of race and creed
Free to express what we believe
Willing to right what we know is wrong
That's what makes our country strong
Let us live,
to keep everybody free
The way we live, it's up to you, it's up to me
All these troubles and conflicts will someday cease
If we can all be keepers of the peace.
Some take freedom
for granted while others work to give
Life to the liberty that we so proudly live
To the guardians of the air, the land and the seas
We thank you, we salute you, the keepers of the peace
Willing to right what we know is wrong
That's what makes our country strong
