A Soldier's Prayer
Dear Lord,
I know you have business all over the world, so I'll make this very brief
If it's not your will for us to prevail, then my life I pray you keep
It's not that I'm a selfish person, but I live in constant fear
In a place where if you scream inside, there's no one there to hear
I want to see my lovely wife, for she's a part of me
Everywhere that she wants to go is somewhere I want to be
I want to see my children, for they're little angels of mine
And I think it's fair and only fair for them to see me one last time
I want to be reunited with friends, so spare me if you will
Don't fault me for my wrongdoings, it"s to be killed or to kill
I have to go so hear me now and spare me one more day
And let me live a happy life, for I wish not to perish this way
