Soldier

MY SOLDIER You probably don�t know his story Most will never speak his name You won�t see him in your dreams tonight But you owe him just the same Since that awful day in September He�s proudly stood to fight To serve his grieving nation He needed to do what was right He�d never admit to being a hero That�s not was heroes do Instead of basking in the limelight He�s fighting for the red, white, and blue Every moment he misses his family Every day brings another fight But, it�s a small price to pay for freedom To let his son sleep safe at night He never asked to leave his family He didn�t ask to go to war Never once has he asked himself �What in the hell am I fighting for? Let somebody else fight for freedom! I�m tired of getting low pay! This is what I get for the sacrifice, Of giving my life away?� He proudly serves his country He wears his ribbons for all to see He�s served Old Glory with honor And he�s fought for our liberty.
