Soldier Song Lyrics

I just got my first letter since I"ve been here
And I"ve read it hundred times since yesterday
It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear
And it promised me there were more on the way
More were on the way
You see I"m a solider boy
Standing on top of mountains
And these snowy peaks though beautiful
Try to freeze me to the bone
There are some many things that I worry about
Cause I"m fifteen thousand miles away from my home

And I want my father to be proud of me
And I hope my momma can"t feel me cry
And I want my friends to think I"m a hero
And I want God to make sure that I don"t die
You"ve gotta make sure I don"t
This is the way it is when you're where I"m from
I come from a long rich legacy
Of people posing with flags and guns
The man says I"ve got so much of this world to learn about
Oh, and this might be my only way out

So I want my father to be proud of me
And I hope my momma can"t feel me cry
And I want my friends to think I"m a hero
And I want God to make sure that I don"t die
You gotta make sure I don"t
You gotta make sure I don"t
I just got my first letter since I"ve been here
And I"ve read it hundred times since yesterday
It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear
And it promised me there were more on the way
More were on the way
More were on the way
More were on the way
