People complain,
about their sucky jobs.
I laugh and say;
"Come carry what I do."
They don't understand,
I leave with a smile on my face
Just knowing... 

The lives I save,
I protect each and one of you,
Every day.

I may not be around,
But I'll be forever found.
Overseas,
At base,
I'm a soldier,
Each day.

I carry a rifle by my side,
I hold secrets til I die.
My family doesn't like the choice I made,
But I know I'm happy,
Each and every day.

I've set myself a part,
From each and one of you,
I know I'll be in your hearts,
When the day comes that I die,
Protecting you.
