To my brother off you go into the hands of war
Trekking on territory you have never seen before

You walk across to sign your name before our last goodbye
I hope I will see you again. I hope you do not die.

If during your fight you are struck too hard or a bullet hits just right.
You will die very dignified knowing that you gave your life to fight.

We all will cry because of our loss, a soldier brave and strong.
How can I teach your little girl that peace is good and fighting is wrong?

How can I explain to her that her daddy will not return?
How can I replace the relationship that she will for forever yearn?

War and hate kill everyday. That doesn’t make it right.
Please go and finish it off. Make this our last fight!
