[bodytext] => I am the soldier sent out in harm’s way
I pray that there could be a different way
The answers are never easy
And freedom is never free
I only ask one thing… that you not forget me
Please pray as I am so far away from Home
At night before I close my eyes in sleep
Your name is what I whisper to a very loving God
So soldier please know that we love you
Come home soon, please come home soon
I won’t ever let them forget you… you are part of my heart.
For you see, I once was a soldier, forgotten by America.
