Life And Other Things

just tryin' to get by

Little Soldier




I never had children but this is what I would feel if I did.


Hey little soldier won’t you put that gun away
Can’t you find another game that’s just as fun to play
I’m hoping that when you grow up we’ll finally have it right
I’m hoping that when you grow up there won’t be wars to fight

The world is full of wonder there’s so much for you to see
So much beauty so much love and so much misery
Our lives are what we make of them the power lies within
The choices that you make decide if you lose or win

CHORUS
I will try to teach you good and bad and right from wrong
When to show your gentle side and when you need be strong
But the most important lesson, I want you to learn
You must be open to being loved and give love in return

I’m hoping for a better world for you, my child, to face
I never want your life to shatter nor your heart to break
I hope to teach you strength enough to meet all life’s demands
I hope to show you, always try to do the best you can

Every day’s another chance to start your life again
Learn from all the things you’ve done, the places that you’ve been
Mistakes are just another way of learning right from wrong
They say what doesn’t kill you, only makes you strong

Hey little soldier I must put my fears aside
And just enjoy your childhood without wasting precious time
Climb on my lap and wrap your arms real tight around my neck
You’re still my little soldier boy you haven’t grown up yet

CHORUS (?)

It's an Episcopalien Church...I don't know if I spelled that right LOL. There are other shots of it in Min's Pics Two.
I'll have to check out Army Dreamers...
