Crying Soldier

the ones who fight and die
those are the ones who cry
they see more in months than we do in years
they are the ones to shed the tears
they fight hard to keep america the way it is
yet they are the ones who need a kiss
they risk thier lives for us because they care 
yet they have the nightmare
be safe crying soldier
ill be sending you a prayer
