Many were called
Few were chosen
Few whose hearts have become frozen
Losing it's frail, hardened, brazen
At the command, he moves
Without thinking
Acts without asking
And stands without moving
Only a few survive the bruising
Of drills, camps, guards, rifle greasing
Regimentation and it's trouble
Ever increasing
He trained to fire without missing
Fight without tiring
And advance without withdrawing
There's no giving up, no giving in
Until 'Mission Accomplished'
There's no easing
He's risen before the sun is risen
For no reason
The soldier's loyalty is never ending
In peace and war time, he's defending
The security of his nation
Has become his personal burden
(Dedicated to those in the military and para-military)
