Beacuse Of The Brave

by UnSpokenPromises   Feb 7, 2007


Down a tired, broken street
A lonely soldier cries
Writing a lost love letter
Just trying to get by

The kids back home have no idea
but through the pain, the blood
and tears
We stay strong and carry on
We know one day we'll fight it

" keep me in your prayers" he said
" because even though im gone
never shed a tear, one day we'll be together, away from all the fear "

He folded it up and placed it close to his heart
Said a quiet little prayer
Picked up his gun
And into the rubble he parts.

He knows that someday he'll be back home
and even if he doesn't make it alive
They'll know he did what he had to do
and be thankfull for those that survived

The world goes on
As we stay strong
They face there grave
For a land of the free
Because of the BRAVE
