Soldier

Life and point my rifle
I aim to kill the target
But stopped when I saw a child
I hesitated for a second
And was hit
And as I lay here in this cold damp dirt
In a country that is not my home
I think about my wife and my two young kids
And about dying alone
And all the glory they told me about
Was spilling out of my body in red
And all the stories they told me about
Those heros fighting for their country
Now mean nothing to me
And I know my wife will be praying
That God will let me in
But I have committed the ultimate sin
I killed for a living
And all the glory they told me about
Was spilling out of my body in red
And all the stories they told me about
Those heroes fighting for their country
Now mean nothing to me
