Oh my gosh... I'm going away
am I really leaving today?
The day has come to leave my home
and start a new life at Camp Shampome
I never thought this day would come
but yet it has, now I sit here numb
Thinking of what I'm leaving behind
friends, family, all in my mind
I'll fight for my country
I will fight until the end
even if my body in a bag they do send
I stand for the colors red, white, and blue
for I am a soldier, standing proud and true!
