Babyface - The Soldier Song Lyrics

Another day or so
He's be one year older
God bless his soul
Barely 18 years old
When he became a soldier
God bless his soul
It's not like he didn't know
The way all he had to cope
But he never made it home

Well I hope and pray
That when god called his name
He did not die in vain
I like to think he died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And he's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect
The life he gave

In another day or so
She might have been a mother
God bless her soul
But she'll never got to hold
Her baby girl, I know her
God bless their souls
It's not like she didn't know
The way that things could go
But she never made it home

Well I hope and pray
That when god called her name
She did not die in vain
I like to think she died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And she's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect
The life she gave

Well I hope and pray
That when god called their name
They did not die in vain
I like to think they died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And they're just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect
The life they gave
