The Life of a Soldier

I'll tell you the tale of a warrior,
With a heart so big and strong.
He seemed to be without fear,
Even when hope was gone.
Hed lived a life so full of joy,
For his love was always free.
He saved some lives,
Made new friends,
But I still will see:

The man who lived to protect his country,
A man who died for the peace.
A sailor on the wide ocean,
A soldier I would never meet.

When I was young,
I was told soldiers were always brave.
As I got older,
I understood just how brave they had to be.
So I have followed in their footsteps,
And been all I could be.
But even now,
With all I know,
They will always be:

The men who lived to protect their country,
The man who died for the peace.
The sailor on the wide ocean,
A soldier in a war.

The life of a soldier
Isnt only glory.
They have to fight,
To save the lives of others.
Yet without the protection
Of these brave men,
We would only be:

The slaves of the countries,
Children in need.
A starving race and broken nation,
A boat lost at sea.

Many people don't understand,
That they fight to save our homes.
They get mad
They get hurt
Or they start a war.
But in my heart,
I still will see,
The people we were born to be.

With a peaceful heart,
A loving voice,
And joy for all to see.
Like those who risk their lives each day,
In wars they never asked for,
With a single goal in their hearts:
To keep us free.
