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.
