Soldier

 

He has stood the line with brothers

And has kept the faith with you

He has fought and bled in battle

With the people that he knew

 

And in that rite of passage

That was seared into his soul

He was witness to their sacrifice

And a witness to their toll

 

Too much to ask, I grant you

Too much to ask, indeed

But he'll always answer country's call

For he understands the need
