A Soldier's Prayer

[Verse 1] He was just a boy, barely eighteen Dreams of home, but a world unseen Jungle heat, and the bullets fly Grandpa's eyes still hold the sky [Verse 2] Letters home, with a trembling hand Tales of friends who would never stand In the night, he can hear the sound Echoes of a battle, hearts pound [Chorus] Oh, Vietnam, you took him far Left him scars and a purple heart Memories fade, but the pain's still there In Grandpa's stories, a soldier's prayer [Bridge] He fought for freedom, he fought for peace In the green hell, where hope's release Now he sits, with a distant stare Grandpa's soul, still fighting there [Epic Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh, Vietnam, you took him far Left him scars and a purple heart Memories fade, but the pain's still there In Grandpa's stories, a soldier's prayer [Chorus] Oh, Vietnam, you took him far Left him scars and a purple heart Memories fade, but the pain's still there In Grandpa's stories, a soldier's prayer [Fading Out in Loop] Oh, Vietnam, you took him far Left him scars and a purple heart Memories fade, but the pain's still there In Grandpa's stories, a soldier's prayer
