Guardians of Europe
Tracy Chapman

Verse 1:
In the shadows of the mountains, by the rivers wide and free
Land of ancient stories, where our hearts were meant to be
From the valleys to the highlands, from the cities to the shores
We stand as one together, guarding what is ours and more

Chorus:
We are the guardians of Europe, with a legacy to hold
Through the trials and the triumphs, through the young and the old
With a spirit unbroken, we'll defend this sacred land
Brothers, sisters, side by side, together we will stand

Verse 2:
Through the echoes of the ages, hear the whispers of the past
From the heroes and the fighters, whose courage now will last
In the face of every danger, in the darkest of the night
We rise up ever stronger, keeping freedom's flame alight

Chorus:
We are the guardians of Europe, with a legacy to hold
Through the trials and the triumphs, through the young and the old
With a spirit unbroken, we'll defend this sacred land
Brothers, sisters, side by side, together we will stand

Bridge:
For our children and their children, for the stories yet untold
We carry on this mission, through the heat and through the cold
With our hearts forever trusting, with our hands held high in pride
We march on ever forward, with the truth as our guide

Chorus:
We are the guardians of Europe, with a legacy to hold
Through the trials and the triumphs, through the young and the old
With a spirit unbroken, we'll defend this sacred land
Brothers, sisters, side by side, together we will stand

Outro:
So here's to our beloved, to the lands we all adore
Together we're unyielding, forever and ever more
We are the guardians of Europe, with our hearts and souls entwined
Standing firm in unity, through the hands of time
