A Soldier Like Me
Fighting in wars
Having each others back
With no open doors
With nothing to lack.
Crawling on the ground.
Looking for safety
With a lot of sounds
That's going on lately.
Bam!Went the gun
Looking so scared
Praying to the Son
That he only cared.
Thinking about your family
Praying that they are okay
Thinking very carefully
While you are making your way.
"We can do this!"
Cried another guy,
" We are not dismissed
Until one of us gets shot."
Let's do team work
I know that will get us through
Let's not go berserk,
Before we end up blue.
This war is over
Hip... Hip... Hooray!
Now I am ready to go home
To share this parade.
Knock, Knock, Knock
I bam on the door.
It begins to unlock
As I count to four.
Kids jumping up and down
Glad that I am home
No one showed a frown
Because everyone had someone to hold.
People think it's easy
But it ain't
Cause a soldier like me
Don't ever say can't.
