THE SOLDIER SONG (aka YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME)
(Sally Mudd)

You got a call to leave today
No long goodbyes
You were instructed to be brave
Soldier, dry your eyes
You've got to leave your fam'ly behind
So I can be with mine
And you don't even know my name

I'm the man, I'm the babies
I'm the little old ladies
Who lay down their heads at night
With peaceful dreams of a world to be
'Cause you're fighting for our lives
And you don't even know my name

I think about you ev'ry day
And what you're going through
Are you cold, are you afraid
Are you wonderin' why God chose you
Will I ever be able to tell you how grateful
I am for who you are
When you don't even know my name

I'm the man, I'm the babies
I'm the little old ladies
Who lay down their heads at night
With peaceful dreams of a world to be
'Cause you're fighting for our lives
And you don't even know my name
(Don't know my name, don't know my name)
And you don't even know my name
(Don't know my name, don't know my name)

I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
Soldier
