Soldiers Fear


As we walk into the line of fire Memories start running through our heads Some of us remember playing with our kids Others seem to recall when they themselves were kids Feeling fear mixed with pride We continue heading for that line of fire Our lives suddenly flash right before our eyes We can't help but wonder what's next We look to the heavens above us Asking GOD to please watch over our families Keep them safe and thinking positive Just for the time I must be away We will work on getting that peace back If something shall happen to us And we cannot make it back home To care for our own families Can you please GOD make sure they are safe And that they understand that I died for our country Trying to make it a better world for them But in the meanwhile please watch over us Keep us thinking good thoughts And please keep us out of harms way So we may return to our loved ones As soon as we are finished fighting for the U.S.A. Amen
