“Citizen Soldier” holds the distinction of being one of the only songs the band released that was written for an older album. As vocalist Brad Arnold explained
…with “Citizen Soldier,” that music was written during the Away From The Sun writing process, years ago. But that’s the one time that we’ve...
[Verse 1]
Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries
So many times you did not bring this on yourself
When that moment finally comes
I'll be there to help
[Hook]
On that day when you need
Your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
[Chorus]
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
From the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
We'll always be ready
Because we will always be there
[Verse 2]
When there are people crying in the streets
When they're starving for a meal to eat
When they simply need a place to make their beds
Right here underneath my wing
You can rest your head
[Hook]
On that day when you need
Your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
[Chorus]
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
From the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
We'll always be ready
Because we will always be there
[Bridge]
There... there... there...
[Verse 3]
Hope and pray that you'll never need me
But rest assured I will not let you down
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me
The strongest among you may not wear a crown
[Hook]
On that day when you need
Your brothers and sisters to care
I'll be right here
[Hook 2]
On that day when you don't have the strength
For the burden you bear
I'll be right here
[Chorus]
Citizen soldiers
Holding the light for the ones that we guide
From the dark of despair
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered
We'll always be ready
Because we will always be there

Yes. Vocalist Brad Arnold spoke about this in an interview:
Yeah, that’s what we wrote the song for. They wanted like a Minority Report video that showed the future of the National Guard, it was an original video treatment. I wrote the song ‘Citizen Soldier’ kind of to it, and they wound up changin...
