soldiers

marching one by one to the silent drum
wondering what will happen and what will they become
rising the flag with stripes and stars
wondering how long there hearts are going to keep the scars
soldiers marching off to war

waking up before the the sun rises
doing exactly what the sargeant advises
eating meals out of a bag
hanging on to the american flag
soldiers marching off to war

fighting for freedom for people they dont know
wondering how this war will go
missing there family and friends
wondering if they will make it home to make amends
soldiers marching off to war

visions of children dying in the war
people they killed,I don't want to fight anymore
dreams of getting shot
praying that he won't be forgot
soldiers marching of to war

going home finally,things won't be the same
excited to see the family, so much he has overcame
visions in his sleep that won't ever go away
this time he is home to stay
soldiers marching off to war
