Lyrics (#individ) Back to listing Parent individual File I Want to Sing a Song for the Soldiers Lyrics I Want to Sing a Song for the Soldiers By Paul Reisler, Donald Sosin and Mrs. Quinn's 3rd grade I want to sing a song for the soldiers to thank them for what they have 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 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 Do you really want to delete this item?
