A soldier,
He fights among us all
To protect his beloved country
Thru errs and falls, he stands tall
To be happy, cheery and free

A soldier,
With a family back home
It’s been years since he saw them
To swell a dropp of peaceful loam
He leaves them, his beautiful gems

A soldier,
He has wishes and dreams
But no time to call his own
He dwells in a perfect scheme
Always sad, always lone

A soldier,
He is disciplined
In his look, walk and talk
He skims thru the tide’s wind
And from worldly fun he balks

A soldier,
Within a mile he falls
He is far from home,
He is all alone

Bring in peace, end this war
Let this soldier return home
Let him free to deep explore
And return to his beloved life

Let him taste what freedom is
And let him fulfill his dreams
Give him a life that is only his
And let him dream far beyond! ! !

Let him live, the way he wants
He is a man after all
