FOR THE FALLEN.

THE SOLDIER STOOD AND FACED HIS GOD
WHICH ALWAYS COMES TO PASS
HE HOPED HIS BOOTS WHERE SHINNING,
JUST AS BRIGHTLY AS HIS BRASS
"STEP FORWARD NOW, YOU SOLDIER
HOW SHALL I DEAL WITH YOU?
HAVE YOU ALWAYS TURNED THE OTHER CHEEK?
TO MY CHURCH HAVE YOU BEEN TRUE?"

THE SOLDIER SQUARED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID" LORD NO I AINT”.
CAUSE THOSE OF US THAT CARRY GUNS,
CAN'T ALWAYS BE A SAINT.
I'VE HAD TO WORK MOST SUNDAYS,
AND AT TIMES MY TALK WAS TOUGH,
AND SOMETIMES I'VE SEEN VIOLENCE.
THIS WORLD CAN BE SO ROUGH.

I NEVER TOOK A PENNY
THAT WASN'T MINE TO KEEP...
THOUGH I'VE WORKED A LOT OF OVERTIME,
WITHOUT ASKING FOR SLEEP.
I NEVER PASSED A CRY FOR HELP.
THOUGH TIMES I SHOOK WITH FEAR,
SOMETIMES DEAR LORD FORGIVE ME,
I WEPT UN-MANLY TEARS
I KNOW I DON'T DESERVE A PLACE,
AMONG THESE PEOPLE HERE,
THEY’VE NEVER WANTED ME AROUND,
EXCEPT TO CALM, THEIR FEARS.

IF YOU'VE A PLACE FOR ME DEAR LORD,
IT NEEDN'T BE SO GRAND
I’D NEVER EXPECT’ OR HAVE TOO MUCH,
JUST A SIMPLE PIECE OF LAND.

A SILENCE FELL AROUND THE THRONE
WHERE SAINTS HAD OFTEN TROD,
AND THE SOLDIER WAITED QUIETLY,
FOR THE JUDGEMENT, OF HIS GOD

"STEP FORWARD NOW, MY SOLDIER,
YOU'VE BORNE YOUR BURDENS WELL,
WALK PEACEFULLY ON HEAVEN'S STREETS;
YOU'VE SERVED YOUR TIME IN HELL
