Wounded Soldier
by: Ashton Mullen

Your face is straight
Your eyes are cold
But stay standing proud
Because you have soul.

The smoke is thick
Your chains are strong
You will feel sick
And your battle will be long.

Times are tough
And you have been scarred
This battle will be rough
And you'll feel caged and barred.

You are a wounded Soldier
But don't take defeat
And as you get older
You'll stand on your own two feet.

You're a fighter, and a strong one
You're very determined to win
You're damaged, but don't come undone
Cause, you will be born again.

Wounded soldier, face this fight
Hold on to your gun, sword, and pride
Keep going even in the black of night
Until the cannons blast have finally died.

So don't give up, even if you're hurt
Don't worry, this war will soon be over
So rise up out of this mud and dirt
You are a hero David, my wounded soldier.
