THERE IS A DISCIPLINE IN A SOLDIER
YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN HE WALKS,
THERE IS HONOR IN A SOLDIER
YOU HEAR IT WHEN HE TALKS
THERE IS COURAGE IN A SOLDIER
THAT HE WILL NOT COMPROMISE.
THERE IS SOMETHING IN A SOLDIER
THAT MAKES HIM STAND APART,
THERE IS STRENGTH IN A SOLDIER
THAT BEATS FROM HIS HEART.
A SOLDIER ISN'T A TITLE ANY MAN
CAN BE HIRED TO DO
A SOLDIER IS THE SOUL OF THAT MAN
BURIED DEEP INSIDE OF YOU.
A SOLDIER'S JOB ISN'T FINISHED AFTER
AN 8 HOUR DAY OR A 40 HOUR WEEK,
A SOLDIER IS ALWAYS A SOLDIER
EVEN WHILE HE SLEEPS
A SOLDIER SERVES HIS COUNTRY FIRST
AND HIS LIFE IS LEFT BEHIND,
A SOLDIER HAS TO SCARFICE WHAT
COMES FIRST IN A CIVILIANS MIND.
IF YOU ARE CIVILIAN -
I AM SAYING THIS TO YOU...
NEXT TIME YOU SEE A SOLDIER
REMEMBER WHAT THEY DO...
A SOLDIER IS THE REASON OUR LAND...
IS "HOME OF THE FREE,"
A SOLDIER IS THE ONE THAT IS BRAVE
PROTECTING YOU AND ME
IF YOU ARE A SOLDIER ---
I AM SAYING THIS TO YOU....
THANK GOD FOR EVERY SOLDIER
THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU DO!
