Full and waiting 
 
From sea to shining sea

In keys of... liberty

Children celebrating

Santa and his sleigh 
 
Of reindeer who found their way again 
 
Across the home, home of the brave

'Tis the 25th day of December 
       Em 
In a season best to remember 
       Em 
That blessings and bows and mistletoes 
                          Em 
Are not without tolls... 
 
Guardian souls

A soldier has a soldier's duty

There's one thing I'd like to say...

Verse 2
       G 
Your chair is empty at the table 
 
Still I take your hand 
      Em 
As we pray for peace in this small world 
 
On our knees we stand 
         C 
Of this body of this nation 
 
You are the heart and spine 
 D 
So to each great generation 
 
Of heroes down the line...
