Ordinary Soldier
 
He's just an ordinary soldier
A man so brave and true
He killed three men today
Well, that's what soldiers do
 
 
 
He makes no fuss about it
He shouts it not out loud
But he saved anothers life today
That makes him oh so proud
 
 
 
Sometimes when battles rage 
He sees the tradgedy and pain
This causes him to wonder
If he'll ever get back home again
 
 
  
During nights of fitful sleep
His devils they return
But with the mornings rising light
He sends them back to burn
 
 
 
He makes no fuss about it
He's not got much to say
For he's just an ordinary soldier
And it's the way he earns his pay.
