My Watch

I stand my watch on the tower,

Not for fortune or for fame.

I'm here to do my duty,

Not add glory to my name.

I've stood my ground when others fled

Or ran and hid from the call.

But I add my sword to the others,

The defenders of this wall.

I'm only one of many

Who stand guard every day,

To guard you and protect you

As you travel on your way.

Through war and peace I'll be here

In case there is a need.

Even if it means that I must die,

For my country I will bleed.

So rest ye well America

Worry not at all.

You are safe as long as I am here,

Standing on this wall.
