I looked in the eyes of a soldier
so much did i see.
All the adolescence innocence was gone
there stood a new man in front of me
i saw fear and frustration
the feeling of where do i fit in ?
if they only knew what i've done
they could never love me again!
I saw pride and self-confidence.
He was a soldier proud and true
he could take on anything.
bring on an enemy or two
i saw peace and remembrance
as he visited with family and friends
the memories of the good times
that he thought would never end
I saw the pain and suffering
as his mind drifted far away
Remembering the hell he's been in
not knowing if he'll go back someday
i saw the anger and aggressiveness
that a soldier needs to surive
the temper rising back in the states
at the remark from a wise guy
before i looked away
tears begane to fall
before me stood a soldier
who has given his life for us all!!!!
