In another day or so
He's be one year older
God bless his soul
Barely 18 years old
When he became a soldier
God bless his soul
It's not like he didn't know
The way all he had to cope
But he never made it home
Well I hope and pray
That when god called his name
He did not die in vain
I like to think he died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And he's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life he gave
In another day or so
She might have been a mother
God bless her soul
But she'll never got to hold
Her baby girl knows her
God bless their souls
It's not like she didn't know
The way that things could go
But she never made it home
Well I hope and pray
That when god called her name
She did not die in vain
I like to think she died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And she's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life she gave
Well I hope and pray
That when god called their name
They did not die in vain
I like to think they died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And they're just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life they gave
