Emotions subdued beneath the black
The funeral procession marched by
A young soldier had given his life
Dying but never really knowing why
A thousand more will join him soon
Their fate has been written by laws
They’ll march or die to their own deaths
Never knowing if they fight for the right cause
A soldier’s life is to do as ordered
Regardless if they believe in the act
For they are to charge without a thought
Even knowing death is a stated fact
They fight for all and for our country
Their reward is that special feeling they get
Please remember that they are all heroes
That they give their lives let’s not us forget
While our politicians may come and go
Their decisions causing our own soldiers to die
Know that we can vote them all out
Before more loved ones will be forced to cry
