Lyrics Nathan Grisdale – Lone Soldier
Text:
This soldier is leaving for the war
Leaving his kids and his wife feeling torn
He knows one day he will make them proud
He says goodbye for what seems the last time
He steps on the plane
Takes one glance back
He knows one day he’ll be fighting in Iraq
He arrives at camp heart beating out his chest
He thinks positive takes a deep breath
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
All his friends gather round
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
You did your country proud
Before he knows it, he’s on the frontline
Fighting for his country
Saving men all the time
He deserves more respect for everything he does
Soldiers should never be misunderstood
Shots in the air it feels like a nightmare
His brother gets hit by a bullet
Help is there anybody out there
He’s holding his brother telling him he’ll be okay
He’s promising he will live to see another day
Takes one glance back
He knows one day he’ll be fighting in Iraq
He arrives at camp heart beating out his chest
He thinks positive takes a deep breath
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
All his friends gather round
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
You did your country proud
Before he knows it, he’s on the frontline
Fighting for his country
Saving men all the time
He deserves more respect for everything he does
Soldiers should never be misunderstood
Shots in the air it feels like a nightmare
His brother gets hit by a bullet
Help is there anybody out there
He’s holding his brother telling him he’ll be okay
He’s promising he will live to see another day
It’s alright, it’s okay
Keep your eyes open don’t go away
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
All his friends gather round
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
You did your country proud
Ohhhhhh
He’s destroyed
Lost a close brother
He’s gotta make a phone call
To tell his kids, wife and mother
Tell them how he saved my life
Provided me with cover
And the last words that left his mouth were
«Tell my wife I love her»
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
You did our country proud
Keep your eyes open don’t go away
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
All his friends gather round
Gun shots
Man down, man down
Time freezes theres no sound
The soldiers brothers body on the ground
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
You did your country proud
Ohhhhhh
He’s destroyed
Lost a close brother
He’s gotta make a phone call
To tell his kids, wife and mother
Tell them how he saved my life
Provided me with cover
And the last words that left his mouth were
«Tell my wife I love her»
Rest in peace, rest in peace, rest in peace
You did our country proud
