Amid the dark night watches
And oer the lonely city
A sentinel keeps the vigil
Never forsaking duty
His gaze will never waver
Through the long dark night
Searching with all diligence
We should not suffer fright
Our sleep is slept untroubled
Our children play in safety
We give no thought to danger
We live our lives in beauty
This is all accomplished
By men of strength and honor
The sentinels of our nation
The guardians of our future<
