The Soldier

The soldier came back from a dark war
He's home safe but still sees killing
He can't get the image out of his head
He tries to sleep but is never willing

He stays up all night when he should sleep
He has dreams of all the killing and blood-shed
He loves his family... but he can't survive...
The night-terrors are there when he's in bed

The soldier lives his life an empty shell
He tries to be happy but doesn't know how
His family and friends love him dearly
And they're there for him right now!

The soldier is a hero to one and all
He's strong, brave, and oh so true
He's been shot at and still he survives
It's not his time to bid a fond adieu...
