Remember Me I Am a Soldier

I'm on my way, to save the day; On a bus, then on a plane I'm on my way; to a war to defend an unknown territory to defend them children, women and men; fighting for rights and freedoms while in my hands, arms I'm holding guns; shooting to defend the rights of others; the enemy "who am I" to not call them my brother; Who am I, Well remember me ahh, yes please, please, won't you please remember these; Remember ME!!! Remember me, the soldier whose life I put on the line(s) to save you from the terrors inside; of those men whom would have your souls; Kill you just to have their stores head; Remember me! Remember me! one of the soldier whose life which was placed on the line; the line of battle, stepping in harms way liken herds of cattle; walking, marching, running crawling; does our life's matter we shed blood, wounded and paralyzed for you.. of those men whom would have your souls; I'm a soldier, well, won't you please just remember, remember; remember ME; remember me I'm a soldier; well you please just remember me when I'm gone; I'm a soldier, well, won't you please just Remember Remember me I am a soldier and I am on loan for a moment rumors and rumors of wars; sometime God sanctions battles to fulfill His wishes; while mothers, son, and daughters are at home washing dishes; I'm a soldier, well, won't you please just remember remember; remember ME; I am fighting, some of us have fallen to promote and sustain our liberties; I'm a soldier well, won't you please just remember me; the one you loved holding this gun; in the country of an unknown tongue, please don't forget me I'm so alone; even though I have my fellow soldiers with me; we are all fighting this battle with our sleeves up; remember me so that I may make it back home in peace; that I'd have all my limbs and that I can still speak; this is why I am here to instill peace; please, please remember me remember me remember me I've made it back home you look down on me and I still can't afford to by a home; stand for our freedoms overseas now back still so all alone; I was off to war now I am back; where this the life get so off track; stood for our freedom over there and now I am here; I was off to war now you are treating me so wrong; a battle hero might as will as die on foreign soil; all I wanted was to help prevent, back in the states you won't even represent (me) it's no colored blind by my skin; only when I wear my camouflage green, do you, will you; remember me remember me to have saved you from the terrors inside; of those men whom would have your souls; have murdered with their eyes; kill you just to have their stories heard remember me remember me remember me I am a soldier will you please just remember me when I'm gone; I'm a soldier, well won't you please just remember remember remember me not in my casket not in the grave not in disillusion, not dismembered; embodied nor enslaved; don't remember me cause I held a rifle, a gun; don't remember me so that I may make it back home in peace; Remember me because I AM GOD's SON and I belong first to HIM and Jesus Remember Me I am and will be in the Arms of Jesus remember me I am a soldier who will no longer get and be older Thank you for your service 10/29/2010 Written by James Edward Lee Sr. From the anthology " Change Is Gonna Come "
