I am a soldier.
I am a warrior.
I am far from home
fighting for something worth fighting for.
Don’t send me here
and teach me to fight
then tell me I am
not fighting for the right.
War is ugly
war is dirty
but I am here to
keep my children free.
I am a soldier.
I am a warrior.
I am far from home
so you can enjoy your blessings more.
You don’t want to hear
the stories I have to tell
because I know there are places
on earth that reach the depths of hell.
I am no saint
I am just a man
and this cause of freedom
has made me what I am.
I am a soldier.
I am a warrior.
Fighting for your freedom.
Tell me, is that worth fighting for?
