Nathan Grisdale - Lone soldier lyrics

This soldier is leaving for the war Leaving his kids and wife, feeling torn He knows one day he will make them proud This soldier is leaving for the war Leaving his kids and wife, feeling torn He knows one day he will make them proud He says goodbye for what seems the last time He steps on the plane, takes one glance back He knows one day, he'll be fighting in Iraq He writes a card, heart beating off his chest He thinks positive and takes a deep breath Before he knows it he's on the front line Fighting for his country, saving men all the time He deserves more respect for everything he's does Soldiers should never be misunderstood A gunshot- "man down, man down." Time freezes, there's no sound A soldiers body on the ground, all his friends gather round Rest in peace Rest in peace Rest in peace You gave your country proud He's so upset, he's just lost a close brother He just wants a letter off his wife, kids and mother He receives a letter, he breaks down in tears The war has taught his how to conquer his fears A gunshot- "man down, man down." Time freezes, there's no sound A soldiers body on the ground, all his friends gather round Rest in peace Rest in peace Rest in peace You gave your country proud A gun shot sound- "man down, man down." Time freezes, there's no sound A soldiers body on the ground, all his friends gather round Rest in peace Rest in peace Rest in peace You gave your country proud
