To Be A Soldier

Aching muscles, tired minds
Staying the course, finish the race
It takes amazing strength to endure this place

Fighting the weakness inside my head
Learn the basics and do it fast
Or the next breath you take may be your last

Sometimes you get sick for home
Then you're glad that you're here
One way or the other
All of us must face the fear

He misses his girl and others their friends
Insecurity is burned away
Hopefully manhood will stay

All for the right to live
All for the privilege to protect
All to be a soldier
