Soldier

There is a soldier 
Who’s willing to fight
This is the soldier
Who goes through the night

Who puts on a battle 
Inside and out
That keeps it all in
When others would start

He does what he’s told 
Wrong or right
But there’s something different
That’s in his sight

It’s in his mind it’s in his heart
She’s as pretty as 
She is smart

She is golden
Pure as can be
I thank God
He sent her for me

With out her I don’t know
What I would do
Because with her 
Soon follows you

Into my arms 
And I shed a tear
Because I love my family
A reason I’m here

I snap back
And look through my scope
Thank God for my country
It gives me some hope

A hope for life
That I can hold
Here we go love
I’m truly sold
