You Are a Soldier

You Are A Soldier How I wish the words would come forward And speak of the pride felt within my heart When I discovered How you laid down your life And marched away from home to do your part How I wish you knew the hours I cried for you in prayer You were the stranger that I loved Fighting a war For an elite society that never cared You shouldered burdens No man can endure Your fight was for freedom Of a country you held pure Then the reality set in War is a fight one does not win And if you were lucky You returned again To your country Lead by corrupt men With hearts polluted by sin And you struggle wondering why You feel If it came right down to it You would do it all again It is because you are a soldier
