Soldiers Cry

Bleeding from the heart I have nothing to show I saw the deaths of many people I did not know I couldn’t help them breath, all they had was a blank stare My heart fell to the ground I felt lost because I cared How do you tell someone’s family that they are gone How do you tell them before they see the morning dawn I have no place to lay I have no home to stay I miss my family that I left behind, the ones that I cannot see I wonder if they ever think about me I wish you could just sit with me I wish my heart did not ache I hope this wasn’t a mistake
