Lyrics
TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUM
March to the beat of the drum
Fight 'til the battle is won
Shoulder to shoulder in the face of the foe
Standing together wherever we go....we will
March to the beat of the drum
To the beat of the drum
Every day in every corner of the world
A war is raging
As a baby's cry is heard
Born to conflict
But with freedom in it's heart
It's for our future
That we shed the blood and tread the mud
Of lands in evil hands
Every mother knows her heart will miss a beat
When the bombs fall
As her child plays in the street
The sound of guns
Shooting bullets at her soul
It's for our future
That we hide our fears and stem the tears
Beneath for lasting peace
For every soldier
Who has laid down his life
Paid the ultimate price
We must never forget
We have an eternal debt
