I'm Just A Soldier
(Dedicated to the men and women around the world who "gave that last
full measure of devotion" and to those who remain in "harm's way"
protecting the freedoms we enjoy.)

I'm just a soldier -- and if I should die
Someone back home -- will certainly cry
Someone so dear -- will shed a tear
But I'm just a soldier -- and now I may die

Uncle Sam called me -- The battle's begun.
I put on a uniform -- picked up a gun
I accepted the challenge -- I surely will try
But I'm just a soldier -- and now I may die

Freedom from terror -- freedom from fear
A homeland that's safe -- that's why I am here
I accepted the challenge -- I surely will try
But I'm just a soldier -- and now I may die

I hope you support me -- I hope that you care
And when I'm in danger -- please say a prayer
I've accepted the challenge -- I surely will try
But I'm just a soldier -- and now I may die
Ending: I'm just a soldier -- and now I may die
