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
