Lyrics:

They had to go, far away from home
Saving Lives, winning hearts and minds
Courage and valour was their code
And they would never back down

So let's lock and load with Canada's heroes
Yeah they did it right, let's honour those who are still alive
Let's lock and load with Canada's heroes!
Remember who fought and died
And cherish the ones who are here tonight
Let's lock and load!

Building roads, fixing wells, lifting heavy loads
Mending seams, so children can dream
They believed, innocence should never bleed
To be brave, strong and proud was their creed

Let's lock and load with Canada's heroes
Yeah they did it right, let's honour those who are still alive
Let's lock and load with Canada's heroes!
Remember who fought and died
And cherish the ones who are here tonight
Let's lock and load!

Medicine to those in need
Little schools so kids can read
Helping the world to be free
Every minute, every hour, every day

Let's lock and load with Canada's heroes
Yeah they did it right, let's honour those who are still alive
Let's lock and load with Canada's heroes
Remember who fought and died
And cherish the ones who are here tonight
Let's lock and load
