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
