Missing in action hero

You turned eighteen
Birthday cake
How fun
Lets party all day and night

All the joy is gone
Sign up day has come
Mistake in my mind
Love for your county in yours

It's boot camp time
They train you to kill
To fight
To survive

Go back home for a few days
See your family
Eat homemade meals
Love is In the air

War time begins
Iraq is the place
A gun your only friend
Pain is shed

You kill a man
Two, three, five
Constant nightmares
Sleepless nights

A bomb goes off
Flying through the sky you go
Your body never found
Another missing in action hero

You family was notified
They cried for weeks
Your girlfriend was notified
Her own life she took

"Tragic death"
"Only his gun was found"
"Our missing in action here"
The local newspapers said
