Shells flying through tranquil sectors,Men falling like uprooted trees,Bullets shrieking their names,Irrespective of beliefs or nationality.
My brother, my partner in crime,
My savior when frightened at night.
My playmate, my hero,
My rescuer, my knight.
You never saw me as a burden,
Always there in times of need.
Mama, don't cry.I'm sorry I'm gone.I didn't mean to die,I tried my best, you see,To stay alive.Mama, don't cry.The others, they were too strong,Had too good of weapons.I couldn't survive,
You leave when you are told
Come back when you're expected
I hope you truly know how much
You are respected
You fight for the country
