He's a Soldier, you see

His bags were packed, in the car waiting

He was to leave me early that day

He had no choice, this is his job

His duty resides so far away

Saying goodbye to the man you love

Heartbreaking when you just don’t know

The next time you’ll see his face

He’s a soldier, you see, he had to go

I know this war isn’t his choice

He’d rather stay but the Army says it’s time

So he will go and miss so much

He has honor and that’s not a crime

He pledged to defend when he took his oath

For love of Country, with God’s good grace

He has gone and taken my heart

To that so very far, distant place

The lack of him, a sad emptiness

In my chest, this lonely ache

I pray to God, every night and day

To bring him home for my sake

He’s a soldier, you see, his duty called

He lives by the values, the creed he knows

A man of Honor, Integrity and Strength

He’s a Soldier, you see, he had to go

The man I love has given his life

To the service of a greater love

This Soldier of mine has placed his faith

In this great land and God above

While he’s gone, I will wait

Protecting his heart, where I belong

He’s my only one, my very own Hero

I’ll be waiting no matter how long

He’s a Soldier, you see, and I’m his girl

Letters and phone calls keep me alive

Trying to live without him here

Until he comes home, learning to survive.

Just pray for him and his brothers

For my sisters and I carry that burden

The sleepless nights, lonely days, endless fears

Of day-to-day and worries of them

Remember them every day,

Never forget they are still there

It’s our Flag they wear, no matter the branch

They are our Heroes but we can share
