Soldiers of the Iraqi War
 
  I've thought about this country
This fighting, the war
Things that never really
Concerned me before
I've thought about our military
their struggles, their lives
And how hard it must be
On their families, their wives
The things they endure
For us all to be free
We take for granted
Everyday, you and me
They're without the ones
That truly care
But have a bond with their brothers
That's beyond compare
They watch their comrades
Fall in vain
Holding onto much more
than just the pain
They carry the scars of war each day
With not many a thankyou along the way
They stand with their backs
Straight and tall at the door
With no fear in their eyes
When its again time to deplore
Straight into battle, into the core
Our Strong Brave Soldiers, of the Iraqi War.
