Give Thanks to A Soldier
Remember the glories
The sacrifices
Remember the men and women
Who gave their lives
Have you ever
Looked into
Soldier’s eyes
It is the window to
Their soul
They are all soldiers
Just trying to get by
They are all soldiers
Just trying
To survive
Think how they must feel
When this happens
All the time
The sky turns black,
However, light appears,
from flares, and guns, and bombs.
His friend was by his side,
He has fallen, now he is gone
They see this happen daily
They see their comrades die
I wonder if you knew
That even soldiers
Cry
I wonder if you know
What it feels like
To watch your brother,
in arms die
As you hold him,
in your arms
And tell him
Goodbye
I wonder if you know
About the nightmares
That they have
Of their comrades
Dead and dying
How they wake up,
screaming
And yes
Even crying
Until the day
They die
They will never forget
What they saw,
and what they’ve done
Or the screams they heard
At night
All day long
In the sun the wind the rain
They fight to keep us free
They sometimes die
For you and me
Always,
Thank and salute a soldier
Salute and thank,
each soldier,
that you see
Remember
They fight for us
They fight to keep us
Free
