This soldier is leaving for the war
Leaving his kids and wife, feeling torn
He knows one day he will make them proud
This soldier is leaving for the war
Leaving his kids and wife, feeling torn
He knows one day he will make them proud
He says goodbye for what seems the last time
He steps on the plane, takes one glance back
He knows one day, he'll be fighting in Iraq
He writes a card, heart beating off his chest
He thinks positive and takes a deep breath
Before he knows it he's on the front line
Fighting for his country, saving men all the time
He deserves more respect for everything he's does
Soldiers should never be misunderstood
A gunshot- "man down, man down."
Time freezes, there's no sound
A soldiers body on the ground, all his friends gather round
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
You gave your country proud
He's so upset, he's just lost a close brother
He just wants a letter off his wife, kids and mother
He receives a letter, he breaks down in tears
The war has taught his how to conquer his fears
A gunshot- "man down, man down."
Time freezes, there's no sound
A soldiers body on the ground, all his friends gather round
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
You gave your country proud
A gun shot sound- "man down, man down."
Time freezes, there's no sound
A soldiers body on the ground, all his friends gather round
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
Rest in peace
You gave your country proud
