A Recovering Soldier
A soldier we have fighting for us,
his time is done, his recovery is a must.
Where does he go, who does he turn to,
questions he should not ask, it's up to me and you.
Did he not protect us, give his all,
it's time for him to receive an American call.
The soldiers put their lives on the line,
should not the government give them their time?
Peace is what this soldier seeks
make him glow from cheek to cheek.
Give this man many a shoulder,
for he is, "A Recovering Soldier."
