When A Soldier Falls
we take off out hats at the graves
people of all kinds cry and give their hearts out to the families
everyone hears our story
but no one cared to listen when we were still breathing
we tried to be strong together but none of us knew each other
if we didnt think we were alone we couldve helped each other
but God called us back home
some of us dont make it home
we run in the feilds getting closer to the light
and we touch happiness upon ending our life
it feels like were running in slow motion and we wish we were
twirling and dancing not in a single stir
while we were alive there was too much pain to bear
we ended up here because we had no where
and now we do not feel anything but happiness
this is heaven, good emotions we have never felt or could dream of
now we dont have to worry about where well end up
or what will happen again if we mess up
we got tired of being beaten, used and torn
we thought all we could feel was the emotion of mourn
God beconed us home and we answered his call
we had nothing more to go back to at all
so we left our nothing behind
to join the front lines
we are God's soldiers
the people who fight the worst battles
with life threatening decisions and choices
and no one can see our fight or hear our voices
we feel as if we are alone when God calls us home
and we were given a new name
a new life
another chance to do it right
when a soldier falls we fall in hopes of peace
we pray our goal for the cessation of bloodshed is reached
but for now we fall in tears because we are fighting a battle we alone cannot win
the struggle between life and death the voice of the devil under our skin
trying to control our mind and harbor the love we have
making us go mad and run to God when he is not ready
with the charge of death and the tears of our family
to heaven i want to go and i am ready
for when God calls me to go into a different army
but i am awaiting my deploying call
i will hear the angels sing
when i am the last soldier to fall
