Even A Soldier Cries

There he stands without a sound
He serves his country with pride
Strong as a rock
Tough as a nail
He looks in the mirror, fixes his beret
Hugs his wife, and walks away
To the Sandbox he must go
And the world doesn't know
How he crys in the night
Sitting in the sand
Of that deserted land
Hidden from the world
Is his pain
Even a soldier cries
Everything is alright
We will be OK
I miss you more each day
Words he hears from the one he loves
Tears stream down from his face
Yes, Even a soldier cries
They fight for you and I
The give their lives
Freedom comes when a soldier cries
For his home he sees
The blessed U.S.A
The tear of a soldier
For the love of his country
Yes, Even a soldier cries
