A lonely soldier
All alone
Away from home
No place to call his own
Has to make new friends
No way to get in touch for awhile
Has to get up early
Work out when told
Out in the fields
Days and weeks at a time
No food or water at times
Sleep in fox holes
He is lost
Does not know how
He feels
A lonely soldier
Has to watch for enemies
Kill them to
If need be
He wonder's if he can do it
He sees so much sorrow
And so much pain
No happiness
For the country he's in
Sometime's at night
He cries in his sleep
For the little one's left in the street
Has dreams so bad
A lonely soldier
He feels left out
Like no one care's
The life of a soldier
He is brave
He is strong
Working to keep
Us safe from harm
He put's his fear
To rest
Put's his life on
The line
Just to serve his Country
It is his duty
This he knows
A lonely soldier
Has a girlfriend back home
Wonder's if she will wait
For his return
A lonely soldier
He wants so much
To hold her again
Say I Love You
Will you marry me?
That is the life of
A lonely soldier
Not knowing what
Will happen
