A Soldier's Mission

I drop to one knee, the mission is long...
All around there is darkness just before dawn.
I take a deep breath my mission at hand...
For God and country please let me stand.

I will always push forward a mission to do...
A soldier is dedicated, professional, and true.

These people we help will one day see...
The battle we fight is for them to be FREE.
