A Soldiers Life
a soldiers heart is full of passion
they see things we cant imagine
like bodies being blown to pieces
and each minute it decreases
the chance of ever coming home
leaving families all alone
sons and daughters go away
risking their lives every day
cause its their right to defend
our country till the very end
soldiers know a lot of fear
they always need to be aware
of whats going on all around
in the air and on the ground
sometimes they start to shake and shiver
dreaming there is a red river
made of blood and they have drown
because it has sucked them down
into the hell their living in
wishing they were home again
as parents wait without fail
to get a letter in the mail
saying everythings O,K.
and they survived another day
