| Brave Soldier | 
|
| Standing on guard in a land of sand, in a place that's never known freedom
A brave soldier from far away, is there 'cause liberty needs him
Chorus
Why do you do it brave soldier? Why lay your life on the line?
Why do you do it brave soldier - when all around you are dyin'?
Is it for sake of your country's honor?
Or for your family's good name?
'Cause Lord knows it's not for the money.
And, it surely is not for the fame.
What's that grand stuff you're made of that makes you so brave and true?
You say you're just doin' your duty 'cause that's what you're paid to do
But now that you've paid the ultimate price and rest in that heavenly place
Your mem'ry will ring, as angels sing, how you bettered the human race
Chorus
God bless you brave soldier for the honor you've brought us all
And the freedom you gave the hopeless when you answered liberty's call
As we humans strive to get things right despite all we do wrong
Your spirit will live forever as we remember you through this song
