Army of One
It's a dangerous journey,
A bold career.
It takes courage and honor
With the absence of fear.
Every day is a struggle.
Every night, a prayer.
An unforgettable weight
Nearly impossible to bare.
A spark of innocence.
A world of deceit.
An empty soul on a crowded street.
The strength of ten
On the shoulders of one.
Complete determination to get the job done.
The heart of a hero;
A soldiers eye.
Fighting to live and willing to die.
