She went off to be a soldier in a time of war...
I wonder if she really knows what she might be fighting for?
A different look in the eyes of you this gentle soldier...
What cares do you wish to carry on your shoulders?
The ones you leave behind in a time of war...
I'm sure they wonder what your sacrificing for.
Maybe to escape the clutch of sameness or just to feel a little bolder...
Makes little difference as you now become a soldier.
A different time as we watch and admire...
But my it's hard to see the little girl experience the fire.
What burdens do you bare...
That makes it so important that you much dare.
I try to understand...I know, its a different time and that I comprehend
In this time of moral and cultural change...
I know things are just not the same.
With your eyes so fair and kind...
Always know you are in our mind.
But it pains me so... to see the little girl who goes off to be a soldier...
...to all our young men and women we sacrifice in war...maybe one day, just maybe,
the brotherhood of humanity will be open to our common humanity...Doc
