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 the 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 the ballad for the fallen soldiers This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers This is the 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 the ballad for the fallen soldiers This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers
