A Soldiers 4th
SultryRose's Signatures
Today, it your birthday
America the brave
May you last until forever
Stars and stripes still freely wave
Out here in these old mountains
It ain’t easy to breath free
For from every cave and mountain face
The enemy sees me
I’m a young American soldier
Here in Afghanistan
Fighting to bring freedom
To this troubled foreign land
Back home they’re eating hot dogs
Drinking cokes with apple pie
While I creep through mountain passes
Afraid I’m gonna die
God knows I love my country
I would die to keep her free
But the unrest in this country
Doesn’t mean that much to me
The gunfights …they are constant
Mortar shells, like rain they fall
Sometimes I have to wonder
Will I make it home at all
The song God Bless America
Just keeps running in my head
Until I yearn to go back home
With every word that’s said
To taste cold beer …see ballgames
Watch fireworks burst for me
Walk a road…sit by a river
In America the free
Now, I’m trapped here in this country
Till my tour of duty’s done
Just a scared young lonely soldier
America’s own son
So happy birthday, homeland
Please say a prayer for me
Maybe next year I can be there
With those I long to see
Go, celebrate your birthday
Having fun and breathing free
But this year while you party
Won’t you please remember me!
