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
