Brave men and women go
go off to fight
not seeing the enemy
who hides out of sight
They cannot show
how much they're scared
with enemies in the trees
and bombers in the air
They see people
get shot every day
and hope that they
don't go that way
Before they go to sleep
they kneel down and pray
that they won't get killed
the very next day.
