Ballad for the Fallen Soldier

I remember when I was much younger than now

I used to sit and listen to the news, I was the only child

And another day, and another night, wishin' daddy would come home

Me and mom couldn't sleep at night

He had just went off to fight for the things we thought were right

So determined to survive, I believe he's still alive

I sing a ballad for the fallen soldiers

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers

I wrote to my congressman, he sends his regrets

That he's missing in action, but don't give up yet

So many people, waitin' like me

Who's got the answer, what could it be?

His country wanted him to fight for the things they thought were right

And he tried to give his all

In DC, his name is on The Wall

I sing a ballad for the fallen soldiers

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers

I sing a ballad for the fallen soldiers

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers

He had just went off to fight for the things we thought were right

So determined to survive, I believe he's still alive

I sing a ballad for the fallen soldiers

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers

I sing a ballad for the fallen soldiers

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers
