Soldier's Ode

[Verse] In a small town, where the rivers flow A mother's tear, a father's woe (woe) A young man standing tall and proud He's off to war, the battle's sound (sound) [Verse 2] He walks along that dusty path With dreams of peace, and a nation's wrath (wrath) He holds his rifle, and he holds his pride But in his heart, he's terrified (terrified) [Chorus] Oh mother, don't you cry I'll come back, on eagles' flight (eagles' flight) Oh father, please be strong I'll carry on, righting what's wrong [Verse 3] I wrote home, one last time I told you, Oh I'll be home soon! Tell my dear, to hold me close (so close) [Verse 4] the cannons roar, the private's cry. far from home I gave it all, I only regret not saying goodbye [goodbye] [Chorus] Oh mother, don't you cry I'll come back, on eagles' flight (eagles' flight) Oh father, please be strong Forever know, I gave it my all (my all) Oh! Oh! (oh)
