American Soldier
They ask him why he's leaving,
why he's shipping off to fight.
They fail to see what's on the line,
all their freedoms, all their rights.
Comprehension is beyond their grasps
that someone's got to go.
And while every breath may be his last
no fear, no doubt will he ever show.
Because he knows that if he dies
in some far off foreign land,
that his valiant efforts may save the lives
of his countrymen, family, and friends.
And that girl's picture in his pocket,
though how he longs to hold her
will forever be carried in the heart
of this true American Soldier.
