Whisper to me softly, hold me close one last time.
This is my battle, I must finish it.
I hold my gun close and say one last goodbye.
This could be the last time I see you,
but I sure hope it is not the last time I say I love you.
I will sacrafice myself for you,
so you can live on, have a family to love.
Just remember me when you look at that flag,
hear my words before you watched me get on that ship.
I will try my hardest to the very end,
and if it takes me with it then I want you to know,
I am a soilder, I serve you,
you are my country, I won't let you down.
