Stand up Tall

by Cassandra   Jan 17, 2006


The battle has begun
it is now a matter of life and death
the soldiers were not prepared
and are now taking the hit
shots have been fired from both sides
neither one is now winning
they are all losing great men
both worlds are now spinning
bombs are crashing down like ocean tides
blood covers the floor
no-one even remembers
why they started the war
alls they can think about now
are the families left behind
who will have to hear the news
that they're mommy's and daddy's have died.
The soldiers are trying hard to survive
but are in desperate need of care
hundreds have already lost they're lives
and a funeral has been planned.

Back home they pray for the safety of the brothers ,sons ,and daughters.
Little do they know that they're love ones are now martyrs
dead for a cause
for the safety of one and all
you are now free
stand up tall!
