In a battle field in Iraq, in the prime of his life
He rushes past the dead men to save the ones alive
In the midst of all the chaos, the confusion of a man made hell
He falls down on his knees and you can hear him scream..
Soldier down - stand back and give him room
Soldier down, he's alive but he can't move
Soldier down, I can't repair his wounds
He says a prayer as he moves on for
One more soldier down.
He's a hero in everybody's eyes
He'll make the local news at seven, noon and five
He'll smile for the cameras as he fights back the tears
Tonight in his dreams, that nightmare is all he'll hear..
Soldier down, stand back and give him room
Soldier down, he's alive but he can't move
Soldier down, how well he hides his wounds..
He says a prayer, someday he'll move one but right now
He's just one more soldier down.
Hasn't seen a sober day, since he left the war
Everybody hollers "Hey, soldier" as he walks through the bar room door
They'll listen to his story and they'll buy him every beer
And as he stumbles to the ground you can hear them cheer
Soldiers' down, stand back and give him room
Soldiers' down, he's alive but he can't move
Soldier down, no body sees his wound
There's not a prayer as he hits the ground
He's just one more soldier down
There's not a prayer as he hits the ground
He's just on more soldier down..
He rushes past the dead men to save the ones alive
In the midst of all the chaos, the confusion of a man made hell
He falls down on his knees and you can hear him scream..
Soldier down - stand back and give him room
Soldier down, he's alive but he can't move
Soldier down, I can't repair his wounds
He says a prayer as he moves on for
One more soldier down.
He's a hero in everybody's eyes
He'll make the local news at seven, noon and five
He'll smile for the cameras as he fights back the tears
Tonight in his dreams, that nightmare is all he'll hear..
Soldier down, stand back and give him room
Soldier down, he's alive but he can't move
Soldier down, how well he hides his wounds..
He says a prayer, someday he'll move one but right now
He's just one more soldier down.
Hasn't seen a sober day, since he left the war
Everybody hollers "Hey, soldier" as he walks through the bar room door
They'll listen to his story and they'll buy him every beer
And as he stumbles to the ground you can hear them cheer
Soldiers' down, stand back and give him room
Soldiers' down, he's alive but he can't move
Soldier down, no body sees his wound
There's not a prayer as he hits the ground
He's just one more soldier down
There's not a prayer as he hits the ground
He's just on more soldier down..
