Deep within the battlefield
When the guns ceased to roar
A lonely soldier stood in silence
And couldn’t take no more
His nerves were all shattered
His face was ashen white
No more strength to carry on
He had lost the will to fight
He fell down upon his knees
And looked up to the sky
Please help me I am frightened
I do not want to die
I have seen so many things
A young man shouldn’t see
I have these terrible dreams
One day it will happen to me
Then in the midst of battle
The lonely soldier fell
He was mortally wounded
Shrapnel from a shell
These were his last words spoken
I feel no pain or sorrow
As a soldier I did my best
For a world of peace tomorrow
