Lyrics

THEY ARE THE SHINING STARS
By Francis Khang Van Cao

VERSE 1:
A few valiant men and women
Respond to their calls to duty.
They travel overseas
To live in a war zone.
They risk their lives
To break the chains of oppression.
The people?s darkest nights
Will forever be bright.

CHORUS:
THEY ARE THE SHINING STARS
That bring peace to the world.
They?re hope for the innocent.
They?re shelter for the poor.
They?re strength for the weak.
THEY ARE THE SHINING STARS of the world.

VERSE 2:
When gunfire fills the air,
Tanks are their only havens.
In the burning clouds,
They place their trust in God.
They march without fear.
The enemies run from the flames.
Blessings fall on the oppressed
Like the drops of rain.

CHORUS: (Repeat)

BRIDGE:
Thanks to these men and women.
A world consumed by fear
Is now a free world.
The people of the land
Celebrate with songs of praise.

CHORUS: (Repeat)
