Fighting for freedom is the fall of a valiant soldier
Striving for hope is the laughter of the people
Stay calm, don't panic soldier
Think of what you were taught, you are too young to die
Along the way, we lost ourselves, but we still had you
Protected from extinction, but no one to protect you
There's discipline in you, because of the walk you walk
There's honour in you, because of the way you talk
Although we don't always show our appreciation, we're here now
To make up for the times we've missed
We worry about making the same mistakes as the ones in history
We worry about the loved ones you've left behind
You spend hours, in the battlefield; where innocent blood is shed
War is grief and all involved must pay the price
When you don't return, we die alone but several times inside
In the battlefield, you bear visible scars but no tears fall
We look at you but never really know the terrible things you have endured
Life and death were apart of your decisions
The life you lived and the lessons you learned built a strong foundation
For you and the respect you've earned
We are in debt to you and the fallen, you've saved us and now it's our turn.
R.I.P Fallen Soldiers.
dedicated to all the soldiers the world has lost fighting for peace and equality.
