Soldier on a mountainside,Reveille calling.Never gonna take his pride,A voice yells Fall In.Today it’s do or die, with thecannonballs roaring.Kissing the pale blue sky,Time for his glory.He don’t fear the sound.He climbs to higher ground.The forest shifts aroundIn the midday sun.He flanks his enemy,The boy from Tennessee.He holds their remedyIn a loaded gun.He had to live his lifeLike a loaded gun.Now that the war has come,He goes to fight them.Those who attack our hearts,Leave children crying.Stands for his own homeland,Love is his reason.You know he will give his handTo fight for our freedom.And now we are free,He gave his life for you and me.
