The Soldier Song Lyrics

Another day or so he'd be one year older
God bless his soul
Nearly 18 years old when he became a soldier
God bless his soul

It's not like he didn't know
The way that things could go
Hope was all he had to cope
But he never made it home

I hope and pray
That when God called his name
He did not die in vain
I'd like to think he died for you and me

And I hope one day
When we look back again
And he's just a memory
That we'll appreciate, respect the life he gave

In another year or so she might have been a mother
God bless her soul
But she'll never get to hold her baby girl, I know her
God bless their souls

It's not like she didn't knowBabyface - The Soldier Song - http://motolyrics.com/babyface/the-soldier-song-lyrics.html
The way that things could go
Hope was all she had to cope
But she never made it home

I hope and pray
That when God called her name
She did not die in vain
I'd like to think she died for you and me

And I hope one day
When we look back again
And she's just a memory
That we'll appreciate, respect the life she gave

And I hope and pray
That when God called their name
That they did not die in vain
I'd like to think that they died for you and me

And I hope one day
When we look back again
And they're just a memory
That we'll appreciate, respect the life they gave

Respect the life they gave
Respect the life they gave
