Dog Tags
As I stood and looked at my surroundings
I could see what once again had begun
There were soldiers dead on the ground that I walked
And suspense in the air
I had prepared for this all my life
But nothing can truly prepare you for the battlefield
I could hear the gun fire
And hear the planes overhead
I killed many men
And I lost my brothers
But I pushed on for my wife and little girl at home
Oh how I longed to be home
I never expected to make it out alive
But I went into battle willing to fight
I did not fight just for me
I did it so my loved ones could be free
Every day I remember
What it was like out in war
But I look at my baby girl
And I remember what these dog tags are for
