A soldier fights in a foreign land
hides during the day in the dust and sand.
At night the sky is filled with red
gunfire bombs, cries of the dead.
A walk amongst the ramparts shows
the broken path a soldier knows.
He keeps the sights inside his mind
morale for him later to find.
A view from afar with great suprise
a child comes from the sunrise.
It moves him till his mind returns
now he knows why the world turns.
