The Lonely Soldier
This soldier believes our country is worth fighting for
So after September 11th,
He joined the Marine Core
He left behind his wife and two kids
Knowing that he couldn’t leave his wife
Without giving her one last kiss.
The lonely soldier, fought hard and true,
But when he called her that night,
He found that there was something in her voice that was new.
This lonely soldier
Couldn’t believe what he heard,
He realized that she was gone, that he’ll never be able to hold her.
They say war takes Courage and Pride,
But there is a greater war that takes place, greater than a war between any two
countries,
The War is Love, and Love can take you on one hell of a ride.
This ride can take you up; it can bring you to the greatest time of your life
But this ride can also go down,
Making you want to just leave, make you want to grab a knife.
So for all of us lonely soldiers out there,
Before you get on this crazy ride known as love,
Make sure that you leave her with a kiss, tell her you’ll always be by her.
And say you’ll miss her like the morning sun.
