It Has Always Been The Soldier - Anchored In Him HTML














When you lay your head down on your pillow
Say your prayers at night.
Be sure to pray for all our soldiers
That must go and fight.

It was the soldier of the field
Who paid for our liberty
He has always been the one
To make this country free.

Yes, it has always been the soldier
Who has gone so far away
And it has always been the soldier
For our freedom, with his blood paid.

It was the one in the foreign land
; So far away from home.
He was the one who sacrificed
So we could all stay home.

Their holidays spent in jungles
Some in deserts and some in mud.
Some in a foxhole in a cold, cold land
And it's he who sheds his blood.

He writes his son or daughter
From the swamps and jungles dim.
He asked them to pray for him
Sends his love to wrap them in.

They know that Daddy's far away
And he may not come home.
Yes, it has always been the soldier
Who in foreign lands roamed.

Yes, it has always been the soldier
Who has gone so far away.
And it has always been the soldier
For our freedom with his blood paid.

So let the bells of freedom ring
But remember this Memorial Day
We still have soldiers in a war
So for their safety . . . let us pray
