A Soldier Weeps Today a soldier weeps He watched his buddy die. What more can he do But stand and wonder why? Yesterday they were U S Warriors. Young men and women far from home. Fighting for the freedom of a people Who now want to be left alone. Today they're trying to be peacekeepers To people who only hate them And one by one we're losing our loved ones For a freedom not appreciated.... when will it end? Do I want to yell and protest? You're damn right I do! Will I go out carrying a sign? No... What good does that ever do? To scream and shout and create havoc To march and block traffic... is not my way. But several times each day and night I take a moment to stop and pray. I pray for their families here at home I pray for the troops in danger there and everywhere. I pray for a country lost and confused ...I pray for stability there. Meanwhile... Another soldier weeps Someone's lost another child or a spouse today. In protest... Write and let our leaders know It's time for our troops to come home to stay. And when you have some time in your day Please... stop a moment and pray...
