                                       为了救民族于危亡

                                       多少人

                                       在枪林弹雨中

                                       把生命抛忘

                                       为了救人民于水火

                                       多少次

                                       穿越烽火硝烟

                                       无比奋勇坚强

                                       用小米加步枪

                                       洞穿了三座大山

                                       用镰刀和铁锤

                                       锻打了苦难中国的希望

                                       我们忘不了

                                       我们忘不了

                                       天安门城楼上礼炮声响红旗飘扬

                                       我们忘不了

                                       第一颗人造卫星高唱东方红

                                       我们忘不了

                                       第一颗原子弹爆炸托起的威望

                                       我们忘不了

                                       祖国因有你而壮美繁荣

                                       我们忘不了

                                       人民因有你而幸福安康

                                       注目猎猎的军旗

                                       我们心情激荡

                                       注目猎猎的军旗

                                       我们自豪荣光
