I want to find out what's on their minds I want to know what they've left behind Yeah, I want to sing a song for the soldiers Everyday They say that soldiers don't cry But I know that they cry inside They've seen the worst of mankind They've seen their friends die They've been trained to be brave And never show they're afraid They've got to stay calm ' cause they've got to move on To keep the flame alive fighting for freedom I want to sing a song for the soldiers to thank them for what they've done For fighting for freedom, for fighting for peace For giving up part of themselves so we can be free. I want to find out what's on their minds I want to know what they've left behind Yeah, I want to sing a song for the soldiers Everyday When they come home we celebrate Have a party and bake them a cake They smile at us and wave But inside they ache They've been fighting for years Now they ’ re fighting back tears They've got to move on, beyond right or wrong To keep their flame alive inside. I want to sing a song for the soldiers to thank them for what they've done For fighting for freedom, for fighting for peace For giving up part of themselves so we can be free. I want to find out what's on their minds I want to know what they've left behind Yeah, I want to sing a song for the soldiers Everyday , Everyday , Everyday Save a Place for You By Terri Allard and Jeff Romano and Core Group, Jackson-Via Elementary There ’ s a scar on my heart That must mean I ’ m healing But my soul says No I gottta hammer out This concrete hurt feeling Since you had to go You took a piece of me But I keep a piece of you, too A necklace, a picture A memory of you A teddy bear, a cupcake A trip we took together A lamp that ’ s always shining bright A song I ’ ll sing forever A carnival, a good luck charm A table set for two I will always save a place for you I will always save a place for you There ’ s a scar on my heart Maybe I ’ m healing My soul doesn ’ t know I gotta hammer out This concrete hurt feeling Did you have to go?
