One look in his eyes...
That's all it takes
To know he's not a child

He's a soldier that has fought
A child that is lost..

.

His innocence so shaken
How does he carry on?
With dreams of salvation
Escape, returning home.

.

Though many do not know this
He's fought because of fear
His life has been altered
But still we do not hear

.

His world is one big nightmare
Yet still he carries on
Despite the odds, he knows
One day, he'll be back home.

.

This child is a soldier
Though he shouldn't be
His hope is astonishing
It's what inspires me.
