I used to pretend to be a soldier when I played as a child
every stick was a gun, every rock a grenade or a mine
the stories were different, but with one thing in mind
at the end of the battle, I would pretend that I died

When I was lying on the forest floor
listening to birds, feeling the bugs crawl
that's when I knew and I realized
when death will come, I will not hide

I used to pretend to be a soldier, not to picture myself strong
neither being reliable, nor a hero that saves the land
neither being admirable, nor a brother to the end
but because when they die, they do belong

Belong with the others, becoming a number
nobody remembering their name, nor their blunder
because when "3 had died" it's an information
but "Martin, Danny and Peter" had reached salvation

That part of my life is over, never to repeat
I will never become a soldier, like I wanted to be
Nevertheless anyone out there, wearing a uniform
I might not know your name, but I'm glad, that you were born
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5XrxSo96Q
And among the others, who lost their lives in fight
in a line of duty, while on guard through the night
I don't know your names, and you don't know mine
but for every "casualty", I'll give you a minute of my time.
