 * The Life of a Soldier**

They never told us it would be this painful We are fight for reasons to which we are not all faithful I have noticed it is pointless we are commanded to prevail Becuase it is not promised we will live to tell the tail We are forced to fight for family and friend When we are already loosing them to the bitter descend As much as they told us it would be worth our while They never once mentioned loosing life might be futile We are staggering around so broken jaded For something that is nothing but much over-rated Freedom and justice can not mean much more Than the life that these innocent young soldiers bore As full yellow clouds floats over our head We dive to the ground and pray we are not dead For there must be more to life than what we see To die to live better makes no sense to me And still can I say it was not in God's plan For us to kill any innocent man Oh..what would I give for just one more kiss From my wife and my children who I //deeply truely// miss If only I could be with then to see how they are But it kills me to know that I am much much to far At least I know one thing To trust God alone For when my flesh perishes I am promised a home.
