What strength what pride shines on a solder's face,
as he prepares to fight and die for us in this God forsaken place.

He thinks about his family, of the tears his mother will cry,
as he prepares to fight for us and die.

He knows what lies before him they're out numbered 10 to 1.
But he sits and waits to fight for us because he knows it must be done.

Just before the fight begins he writes a letter home.
He tells them that he loves them and that they should go on.

He tells them that he fights for them and then he tells them bye.
Then he goes out to fight for them and dies.
