Guardians of the Coast

[Verse] On the shores where waves crash down, In lonesome harbors and old town, Men and women dawn their whites, Guardians of the darkest nights. [Verse 2] From dawn patrol to midnight call, They answer duty, stand up tall, The fog rolls thick, storms a-rage, They navigate, turn the page. [Chorus] Guardians of the coast, they sail, Through the rough, the calm, the gale, Braving tides, standing true, For me, and you, they follow through. [Verse 3] In cutters swift, they chart their course, Against the wind, the ocean's force, They rescue souls from waters cold, Stories of bravery, brave and bold. [Bridge] Flags are raised, the anthem's sung, In every port where hearts are young, The Coast Guard stands, proud and strong, Protecting shores, all along. [Chorus] Guardians of the coast, they sail, Through the rough, the calm, the gale, Braving tides, standing true, For me, and you, they follow through.
