Lyrics
just a young dude, comfortable home, enclosed by a
white picket fence still sits in front of the roses
growin in the garden with pretty flowers all across it
blowin in the wind listenin to him and mom talking
late at night, about god, about life
about wrong, about right, about how the stro-ngest
survive the fight to make a mark before they die
so while he lie awake at night he’d ponder why
at times he criesd/ at the thought of dy-in wit no purpose
this earth gets cold with such feelings and so his
search began for meanin at that moment
he sought to act on dreams he’d been holdin
dreams of be-in a soldier at war for his people
they need’m hes hold holdin their freedom
above his own life, he couldn’t hold tight
so in the morning he left home a soldier…this is his song
[chorus]
this is a soldiers song the song of a soldier
hes holdin on and not lookin over his shoulder
at the reality that lies on the battlefield
another casualty of lies on the battlefield
this is the soldiers song the song of a soldier
he frozen solid not knowin what tomorrow holds instore
or if live to see the next day
but when he dreams he dreams this is the best way...
mom knew from the se-cond he entered the draft
he’d be gone in November and ne-ver comin back
and so his path unraveled, time traveled
as he battled back through black shadows
in his fa-llow mind a waaar unkind was bein fought
as he tried to find the kind of war he’d thought was real
a war where honor feels like the only choice
the voice of God revealing heros
the people he destined to be remembered
legends embedded forever in our hearts
but when the first shot hit the squad sargeant
in his heart he saw we're all easy targets
in the darkness of the the human mind where
lines are drawn dividing you and i
this life is do or die for no reason,
and in the line of fire theres no freedom
[chorus]
months later hes facin mayhem, guns blazin
not even god can save'em but hes prayin
he doesn't take'm, he doesn't wanna see the savior
he wants to be the bravest, wants to be praised in
the pages of history, but when the shots HIT hes
ripped through the KIDneys, this kid sees
his life flashin before his eyes,
it flies past'em before he cries out,
he re-a-LIZEs, hes dyin
its all crashin down, hes passin out
its all over, he knows he's going home
in a black bag, with a flag supposed
to show his mom that hes gone for a cause
but shes not consoled at all
she just falls on her knees proceeds to weep
she can't believe he'd bleed for no reason
she needs'em but hes ceasin to breathe
and so at that moment she ceases to be
[chorus]
