Soldiers

Burning bright our demon eyes,

A fiery night with blood flying high.

We push through our pain,

Because we have so much to gain.

Our dreams and our goals are that of a soldier,

Our minds and hearts become so much bolder.

To never be defeated, to never quit, to always help our comrade, with the mission still in our head.

True to ourselves and our cause,

To always defend those stripes and stars.

Our friends and family we leave to protect,

With tears in their eyes, we see the love when we get back.

Through struggles and strife,

We have made this our life.

Early to rise and late to bed,

We are never exhausted because we are not dead.

Through it all we come to find ourselves,

Changed and renewed with strong values.

Our lives are turned,

As our Soldier’s way is earned.

We begin to understand,

This is our country that we have the right to defend.
