The Soldier Goes To War

The soldier goes to war; the nation cheers him
Peace, pained now, has sad stories to narrate
The chance of his coming back home seems dim
The soldier goes to war; the nation cheers him
Midst misty moods, joy in him fills the brim 
For the selfishness of some, is he bait?
The soldier goes to war; the nation cheers him
Peace, pained now, has sad stories to narrate
