Stacy Peloquin - Soldiers In Heaven lyrics

rate me

I WAS JUST RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

HAD NO CLUE WHAT I SHOULD BE

SO I ENLISTED IN THE SERVICE

TO SERVE OUR GREAT LAND OF THE FREE

I STOOD TEN FEET TALL AND BULLET PROOFÂ…Â….

HEADING TO AFGHANISTAN

THIS TEEN NOT SCARED OF ANYTHING

QUICKLY BECAME A GROWN UP MANÂ…Â…Â…

I WAS BARELY OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

AND I WAS STILL REALLY A KID

BUT I WANTED TO SERVE MY COUNTRY

LIKE MY DAD AND BROTHERS DID

BUT IF YOU EVER SERVED IN COMBAT

YOU WON'T BRAG ON IT AT ALL

YOU TRY TO RID THE MEMORIES

OF ALL THE MEN THAT YOU SAW FALL

AT ONLY EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE

I WAS PUT ON THE FRONT LINEÂ…Â…Â…Â…..

AND I CANT PUT INTO WORDS

THE CONSTANT CHILLS GONE DOWN MY SPINE

AND JUST LIKE YOU HEAR IN MOVIES

NO MAN IS EVER LEFT BEHIND

SO MANY BODIES I HAVE CARRIED

CANT RID THE VISIONS FROM MY MINDÂ…Â…Â…Â…Â…Â…Â…..

I WAS BARELY OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

AND I WAS STILL REALLY A KID

BUT I WANTED TO SERVE MY COUNTRY

LIKE MY DAD AND BROTHERS DID

BUT IF YOU EVER SERVED IN COMBAT

YOU WON'T BRAG ON IT AT ALL

YOU TRY TO RID THE MEMORIES

OF ALL THE MEN THAT YOU SAW FALL

(CHORUS MUSIC)

NOW MY MOMMA'S HEART IS BREAKING

AS SHE HEARD THE NEWS TODAY

THAT HER SON HAD LOST HIS LIFE

FIGHTING THIS WAR SO FAR AWAY

SO MANY MOMS OF SONS ARE CRYIN

BUT WE'RE IN HEAVEN LOOKIN DOWN

WE'RE NOW SOLDIERS UP IN HEAVEN

WATCHIN THE BATTLE ON THE GROUND.

YEAH THEY ARE BARELY OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL

AND THEY REALLY ARE STILL KIDS

AND THEY WANT TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY

AS THEIR DADS AND BROTHERS DID

AND IF THEY MAKE IT BACK FROM COMBAT

THEY WON'T BRAG ON IT AT ALL

THEY'LL TRY TO RID THE MEMORIES

OF ALL THE MEN THEY SAW FALL

AND MOMMA PLEASE FORGIVE ME

I TRIED MY BEST NOT TO FALL

NOW I'M A SOLDIER UP IN HEAVEN

AND I GOT MY NAME UP ON THAT WALLÂ…Â…Â…..
