I could hear guns firing beside me,
Land mines going off made it harder to see.
A German soldier approached, aiming his gun,
At first I stood still, frozen, then started to run.
As I ran as fast as I could, I thought of my family,
And when I had last felt my daughter hugging me.
As night fell all the lights went out,
I wasnt sure who was lurking about.
Out jumped a soldier clutching a knife,
He gave me a look of scorn and took my life.
Watching my daughter grow up is what I will miss,
I never got to give that last goodbye kiss.
My time here on earth isnt too long,
Hearing the angels heavenly song.
I draw my final breath in the thin frosty air,
Then I drifted off to heaven without any care.
