An uplifting and emotional acoustic folk-rock song about working hard as a deminer (CMAC), finding value in every drop of sweat, and staying motivated by the smiles of family back home.
[Verse 1]
Under the heat of the burning sun
Another long day has just begun
With heavy steps and a careful hand
Clearing the shadows from our land
It is hard work, the danger is real
But there is a quiet pride we feel
Every drop of sweat that falls to the clay
Is the price of life we gladly pay
[Chorus]
Working for CMAC, we do not fear the strain
We walk through the heat and we stand in the rain
The money is modest, but the spirit is high
Earned by our hands under this open sky
Living with honor, standing so tall
With a proud heart that answers the call
[Verse 2]
Some days my body is weary and sore
I feel like I cannot take any more
But I close my eyes and I clearly see
The smiling faces waiting for me
My family's warmth is the strength in my stride
Pushing me forward with hope as my guide
Every small step on this dusty track
Is building a future where we don't look back
[Bridge]
Step by step, we clear the ground
Bit by bit, new hope is found
This honest living, this sacred chore
Will open up a brighter door
For the children to run and play
Into a safer, clearer day
[Chorus]
Working for CMAC, we do not fear the strain
We walk through the heat and we stand in the rain
The money is modest, but the spirit is high
Earned by our hands under this open sky
Living with honor, standing so tall
With a proud heart that answers the call
[Outro]
So let the sweat fall, let the sun shine bright
We work with honor into the night
For the family, for the land we love
Under the watchful stars above
With pride in our hearts.
