A Brave Soldier

In a war torn land Out in the desert sand Lies a soldier in wait Not knowing his fate He thinks about his home About this desert land he'd roam About his life and the freedom he's had This war and the fighting which makes him sad It was a job he chose you see A soldier is what he wanted to be Until he got to this desert land Now waiting for the enemy, the other man Destruction and chaos all around Gunshot and explosions do resound He wondered what he got himself in His nerves seem to be shedding thin But who would fight if he did not Who would be posted in this hot spot His only dream is to survive Until another brigade arrives Out in this barren land Lying in the desert sand Whether this war is right or wrong Lying here, this soldier must stay strong
