The Idea for the song came after watching a documentary about Life (and Death ) on the Front line in Afghanistan and Iraq

SACRIFICE
Another soldier crossed the line
Never saw that hidden mine
A flash of light-- expression grim
Body torn-- limb from limb
A dream serene --the passing of a life
Leaves another grieving wife
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
Those nights you spent-- in early spring
The shells that made your tender ears ring
Sitting by the campfire light --
Thoughts lost in the night
You're going home--- way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
You're going home--- way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon
It's a job --he used to say --
Just a way to earn his pay
Never thought-- he'd die like this -
no mothers arms-- no girlfriends kiss
Young man young man --
Never thought he'd die like this
