They're fathers and brothers
They're husbands and sons
They're the men that make the Marines

They're sinners and feelers
And thinkers and lovers
They're the men that make the Marines

They're teachers and preachers
And imperfect creatures
They're the men that make the Marines

They're builders and makers
They're fixers and healers
They're the men that make the Marines

They're children and parents
And the ones that make the world
They're the men that make the Marines

They're learners and doers
And they do their jobs well
They're the men that make the Marines

They're spirits and bodies
And blood and heart
They're the men that make the Marines

They're soldiers and medics
They're killers and fighters
They're the men that make the Marines

They're leaders and followers
Yet always humans they remain
They're the men that make the Marines

Where'd we be without
Our soldiers and leaders
Our Marines?

Where'd we be if they weren't there
To answer humanity's call to arms
And sacrifice their lives in our defense?

Throwing themselves on the grenade
Leaping in front of the enemy's attack
They're ones that die alone—but never alone

They're the men that make the Marines
They're the ones we never see die
But we know they died for us

And that's what makes them Marines

Semper Fidelis
