Another day or so he'd be one year older

God Bless his Soul

Nearly 18 years old when he became a soldier

God Bless his soul

It's not like he didn't know

The way that things could go

Hope was all he had to cope

But he never made it home

I hope and pray

That when God called his name

He did not die in vain

I like to think he died for you and me

And I hope one day

When we look back again

And he's just a memory

That we'll appreciate, respect the life he gave

Another year or so she might have been a mother

God Bless his Soul

But she will never get to hold her baby girl, I know her

God Bless their souls

It's not like she didn't know

The way that things could go

Hope was all she had to cope

But she never made it home

I hope and pray

That when God called her name

She did not die in vain

I like to think she died for you and me

And I hope one day

When we look back again

And she's just a memory

That we'll appreciate, respect the life she gave

I hope and pray

That when God called their name

They did not die in vain

I like to think they died for you and me

And I hope one day

When we look back again

And they're just a memory

That we'll appreciate, respect the life they gave

Respect the life they gave

Respect the life they gave
