Duty of a Soldier

• Artist: chewie2006
• Description: This is a writing arena, you came to read other peoples written work and rate and comment on that, not hate on something that it's about, keep that in mind. I wrote this while I was training, a few days after my girlfriend at the time broke up with me. I guess it's something of a song almost? Not too sure.

wake up every morning, beat the sun to the sky
i open up my locker, always makes me wanna cry
i see your pretty face, that moment frozen in time
how i miss your lips, how i miss your touch, just to kiss one last time

but i dont regret singning on that dotted line
i serve my people, i serve my nation, im doing my time
and i know it hurts for you to see me leave in that hour
hurts me too, but baby just know, its the duty of a soldier

baby they called on me, i have to go overseas
ima fight for you, and fight for them, fight for all to be free
now when i boarded on that plane, saw through the window, you were a prayin
i cried for you, and you cried for me, but honey im still sayin

that i dont regret signing on that dotted line
i serve my people, i serve my nation, im doing my time
and i know it hurts for you to see me leave in that hour
hurts me too, but baby just know, its the duty of a soldier

baby i had to go, put on a mission, out on patrol
we left the base, we were ready to go, we were ready to rock and roll
well i made it back home, been a long time, definitely been a hell of a ride
baby i just want you to know last thing i said right before i died

i never regretted signing on that dotted line
i served my people, i served my nation, i done did my time
and i know it hurt for you to see me leave in that hour
hurt me too, but baby just know, thats the duty of a soldier

oh yes, the duty of a soldier
