Do you feel that lives can be expended
When a war has started
That can not be ended
The expense is the lives
Of the soldiers who die
Who fought for our country
On land, or in the sky
Whether they fly or they run
They continue to fight
Just so our country
Can keep all its rights
Are they just puppets
To our country puppeteer
By its commands
Forced to move
Filled with fear
Though they fear death
They will fight any and all
Where they win or they lose
Their pride will not fall
Their efforts will show
Through victory and defeat
No matter how many surround them
They will never retreat
I don't think it's right
That they have to fight
And they have to roam
I know that I feel
They need to be brought back home
