A Soldier\'s Life

As the sun rises, bodies stir

Yesterdays adventures one big blur

Scary dreams, screaming voices

Battles fought without choices

Mind racing, body numb

Boots on the floor, pickup my gun

Another patrol lives on the line

No going without my canine

Walking the streets eyes all around

Bullets fly, hit the ground

Innocents screaming running scared

Stand up and fight, soldiers dare

A soldiers life is beyond compare

Mind racing, body numb

Hands and fingers tight on my gun

As the sun sets, the day winds down

Soldiers boots still on the ground

Sitting on their racks, take a deep breath

Another day done, survived death

Laying down, eyes closed and eerie calm

Body numb, mind racing waiting for dawn
