Black Rain

As I stand out side in the pouring black rain Off go the soldiers marching the same Splashing their black boots in puddles that day As I watch my daddy as he goes away I scream his name as I wave good bye Momma held brother and began to cry Daddy looks back and waves with a whisper, good by my little angel I love you. As families say good bye to their loved ones I say daddy I love you too As the soldiers march on through black rain Cherishing the last moments hiding their pain As the rain falls into night I watch my daddy and I can’t see him in sight As the eagle soars through the sky Watching the days go by and by Our flag still stands for freedom Home will remain our kingdom As black rain falls in the fields Soldiers fighting holding up their shields Brave men risking their lives Can’t wait to get home to their children and their wives Black rain rolling down daddy’s face Moving through battle with steady pace When battle was over and men were dead Soldiers came home and tears were shed As I run to my daddy, the warmth of his embrace I missed you daddy. I love you grace Momma ran out with brother in hand Jumped into daddy’s arms, there we stand But remember our soldiers Fighting brave like warriors Families love and hope is their only gain These are our soldiers in black rain.
