the soldier song

in another day or so

he's be one year older

god bless his soul

barely 18 years old

when he became a soldier

god bless his soul

it's not like he didn't know

the way all he had to cope

but he never made it home

well i hope and pray

that when god called his name

he did not die in vain

i like to think he died for you and me

and i hope one day

when we look back again

and he's just a memory

that we'll appreciate and respect the life he gave

in another day or so

she might have been a mother

god bless her soul

but she'll never got to hold

her baby girl knows her

god bless their souls

it's not like she didn't know

the way that things could go

but she never made it home

well i hope and pray

that when god called her name

she did not die in vain

i like to think she died for you and me

and i hope one day

when we look back again

and she's just a memory

that we'll appreciate and respect the life she gave

well i hope and pray

that when god called their name

they did not die in vain

i like to think they died for you and me

and i hope one day

when we look back again

and they're just a memory

that we'll appreciate and respect the life they gave
