Coalition's Soldier
In your eyes we see your story
Tale of death so gruesome gory
Your distant stare does clearly spell
Such volumes I could never tell
Mirage of lovers daily taunt
Ghost of the fallen nightly haunt
Frigid dark follows blazing burn
Blasted by sand, motors won't turn
One step forward, and then two back
Say Hamad, open up your pack
Checkpoint duty, oh there's a joy
A booby trapped twelve year old boy
Oh let not your soul grow colder
Bear up, Coalition's soldier
Few so proud, and the proud yet few
Let your countrymen admire you
We'll see you home, and soon indeed
Finish your tour, I plant hope's seed
Of home safe home, the blessed thing
In torn Iraq, let freedom ring!
