BRAVE YOUNG SOLDIERS
Brave young soldiers I cry for you I know the truths you believe to be true I know the feeling as you pump out your chests I know you will die so we can rest…. Free in our country and in the world at large Your dreams in flags and sparkling stars
Brave young soldiers I cry for you I know what your leaders tell you is not true I know you don’t question, it’s just yours to do You follow the orders they make you do But they follow orders, not from people like you But from they that exploit, the red white and blue
Brave young soldiers I cry for you In a lifetime passed, I believe I was you The people in charge, you will never see, They are beyond your generals and military They are getting rich while they send you to war And fighting for freedom ain’t what it’s for
Brave young soldiers I cry for you And know I will always stand behind you But if I protest what they send you to do Believe it has nothing, to do with youAnd I’ll support you and praise you; I’ll salute you But mostly brave soldiers, I’ll cry for you. ©Bob Schweitzer 18 December 2002
