I Am a Soldier

I walk through the desert with sand in my eyes The people see me passing by and all they can do is smile Yet back home I step outside and people stop to stare Not because they know me But because of what I wear See I am a soldier I fight for what is right I stand up for freedom I fight with all my might Yet some may say I am wrong that my job shouldn't be done It isn't our place to fight for them That we should be gone But there is something they don't know or seem to understand My job is to fight for those who need us no matter where the land. I made a decision when I took this job to fight the fight when needed. To answer the call to go to war no matter where we're headed. So when you see us on the street Just remember you are free Because people answered the call to fight for freedom like me.
