War
Many people in the war lost their lives
they sacrificed themselves lives to save others.
One life gone but many more were saved
such as the lives of uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers.
Soldiers get killed in combat
yet somehow, others survived
they fight and defend till the end
and their countries soon revive.
All these brave souls are taken away
they keep look-out sharp as a pin
they lead their country to victory
it's because of them that they win.
They stand up tall and show no fear
they know their destiny is to fight
they must protect what is theirs
and fight for what is right.
We ask them to accept our hope
they die only so others can live
some say that hope isn't much
but it's really all we can give.
Not only that, but we give them our trust
they leave to fight with intentions high
they try their best, they fight for us
and we know that this isn't good-bye.
They weren't forced to fight
it's something that they choose
they go armed and ready
and they don't intend to lose.
They have their dreams and hopes
and mostly our hearts
and with that they could win
but they knew that from the start.
Then the day arrives
it's finally here
we won this memorable battle
we celebrate with food, drinks, and beer.
After all this time,
the soldiers come back
we cheered and we danced
our respect didn't lack
We greet them back dearly
everyone's so kind
hurray! we did it!
there wasn't a doubt in our mind.
We believed in ourselves,
we believed that we would,
and with just enough courage,
we finally could.
