How Brave of You

How brave of you to go and get enrolled Going places where you may not want to go Doing things that you may not want to do Having to deal with missing your family and them missing you How brave of you to put on your uniform everyday Not knowing if it's your last day Another day of doing what your commander say Praying and hoping that you will finally go home and forever stay How brave of you to do what we choose not to Or what we are afraid to do Thank you And God bless you How brave of you to set your pride aside And save people's lives To put on your badge of courage for you and me; To fight for this country There's not a day that goes by that I don't pray for you all For the ones who still stand, and for the ones who fall The respect level for you all is at its all time high For you all are still overseas and we're left without a reason explaining why There's not a single soul who can walk in your shoes Except for the ones who use to and and now do the same as you There's not a single soul who will understand what you see And know how terrifying that will always be I can't wait until the day when this will be over and the world will be at war no more So that you all can rest and your mind, body, and soul can be restored Then we can all finally be happy And once again be the family that we use to be Dedicated to all of our soldiers who are overseas. Deeply from your families and me.
