Another Soldier
Another soldier went home with God today
He said goodbye along the way
Another proud man left his mark
As God took him away
Another Mother, cried the angel's tears
As the men in green confirmed her fears
Another Mother sat down and prayed
for her only son who went home with God before he was through
Another child sat and cried
As she held the flag and held it with pride
Another child said goodbye
Because Daddy went home with God today
and she didn't understand why
Another soldier died today
God took his hand and led the way
For he left behind angel's tears
That will hold his memory
Forever dear
