A soldier standing tall and strong
Can come tumbling down
Down, down, down
Down, past the green grass
And the dirt below
A soldier standing with courage and pride
Can fight till the death
But will never be forgotten
Never forgotten
Because, he didn't fight only for himself
A soldier standing with love and care
Can hold a child newly born
Cooing, cooing, cooing
Cooing to the babe he calls his own
His own babe
A soldier standing with glee and enthusiasm
Can clasp tight to the soft hands in his grasp
Never letting them go
Never letting go
Because, she is his other half
A soldier standing with confidence and exuberance
Can raise his right hand swearing himself to his commander
Swearing, swearing, swearing
Swearing he wouldn't let his country down
Won't let his country down
A soldier standing with gay and happiness
Can kiss his mother good night
Saying he'll never forget her
Never forget her, ever
Never forgotten
A soldier standing tall and strong
Can come tumbling down
Down, down, down
Down, past the green grass
And the dirt below
