Two Soldiers |
| We show up every morning |
| Our uniforms are pressed |
| All spit and polish, we have to look our best |
| This message that we carry |
| Is a heavy load to bear |
| For those who pay the price with sacrifice |
| We have to show we care |
| Everybody has a duty, a way they can shine |
| The ones who go over there |
| And those who stay behind |
| Some ain’t coming back, reality is grim |
| It’s up to me and Sergeant Jack |
| To break the news to them |
| We’re the two soldiers no one wants to see |
| In a plain black sedan |
| Rolling slowly down the street |
| Past the toys and the bikes |
| Beneath the maple trees |
| Where fading yellow ribbons |
| Wave gently in the breeze |
| A loved one’s in a better place |
| They won’t be back no more |
| Now there’s two soldiers at the door |
| Sometimes they see us coming |
| And fall down on their knees |
| Tears are overflowing |
| Crying no, God, please. |
| Sometimes they just stand there, silent as a stone |
| With no surprise in their eyes |
| Like they knew it all along |
| See the soldiers on the tarmac, ready to deploy |
| Husbands and wives with little girls and boys |
| Say a silent prayer they all come back alive |
| And never see Jack and me pull up in their drive |
