Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the call comes in, we need to be prepared
Reserve and Regular forces working side by side
New models rising up to meet the challenge there
Integration is our strength, our nation's pride

[Chorus]
Ready, able, standing strong
Reserve Force keeping Canada free
New policies help us all belong
Integration builds our unity
Ready, able, all year long
That's the Reserve Force guarantee

[Verse 2]
Part-time soldiers with full-time dedication
Training harder, standards rising to the top
Modern policies support our transformation
Building readiness that never has to stop

[Chorus]
Ready, able, standing strong
Reserve Force keeping Canada free
New policies help us all belong
Integration builds our unity
Ready, able, all year long
That's the Reserve Force guarantee

[Bridge]
Enablers make the difference now
Better equipment, training, pay
Resilient forces, we know how
To serve our country every day
From coast to coast we stand our ground
When duty calls, we can be found

[Verse 3]
Flexible service, career paths that bend and grow
Technology connects us when we're far apart
Reserve integration helps our readiness flow
One Canadian Armed Forces, one beating heart

[Chorus]
Ready, able, standing strong
Reserve Force keeping Canada free
New policies help us all belong
Integration builds our unity
Ready, able, all year long
That's the Reserve Force guarantee

[Outro]
Ready, able, Reserve Force strong
Canada's future safe and free
