Soldier Boy

dare i tell you thanks
dare i tell you anything at all
you think you are so fly with the uniform
but you got hurt ... you took a hard fall

you are loved in the eyes of me
but you make me furious fighting a war that has no point
when you come home
doubt i will see you in the days first
when I heard the news in tears i burst
now because you were hurt but because you were okay
i love you 
is all i want to say
