Lyrics
The soldiers are gone
The soldier is not at home
And he's a good soldier with the
Silver and gold medallion at his side
He's a good soldier with his medal at hand
He will win his reward if ever there was one
The soldier showed him love and honor when they were children small
His father brought them both to court on Sunday for all
To see with joyful hearts whenever anyone passed by
They looked so happy and cheerful
And everyone who saw it knew exactly what happened: two lovely
Young hearts were gonna grow into two lovably great people
With all of their faults fixed upon each other from day one
The thanksgiving we now bring will forever remain our
Gift for your king when he returns again next year!
Lasst den Dank die wir dir bringen angelegen
Vor dir liegen lasst uns mit den Segen gehn!
Den segen gehn
Lasst den Dank die wir dir bringen angelegen
Vor dir liegen las uns mit demSegen geh'n
Our American wind has been there since then as free as
Could blow across those prairies and see what's right
For all of us as freedom came with its price: bloodshed
Bloodshed over bloodshed has become a daily occurrence along those
Prairies where Americans died because some wanted something they
Didn't have or couldn't afford but others fought over resources
Too easily with no consequence for those who made them fight back
Home among their own country men had learned about sacrifice long
Before the Revolution and many soldiers knew better than even
They knew what it meant when two men got into combat and one died
For his country, one man took on all his responsibilities and
Became his own commander-in-chief as General George Washington
Himself took command as General in chief when he became commander-
In-chief under Colonel George Washington Lee in 1802 when they
Fought the British Army at Chancellorsville on July 3rd, 1802
The soldiers are gone- The soldier is not at home!
And he's a good soldier with his silver and
Gold medallion at hand- he has one more to go!
And I'm not surprised that this man here hasn't got
Much of an ego because he doesn't seem to care too
Much about it either way- and his medal at hand!
He will win his reward if ever there was anyone passed by that went
On before him his heart was light as well as his foot was also
Very small for someone who had grown up so fast but even so he was
Still a child at heart because of his way with words when someone
Said something mean about another soldier down range and someone
Else said something very similar back in response the other man
Got up and looked him right in his eyes he said "I'm sorry if I was
Rude before but I'm not sure if that was the right thing or not"
He smiled at him and said "No that's all right," he replied
With his hand still on that good old sword of his "I'm just
Happy we were able to help one another out you know?" And
He grinned at him and the other man just laughed because
They both had these big bright blue eyes and this man always
Remembered that day very clearly as if it were yesterday
The soldier showed him love and honor when they were children small
His father brought them both- their father brought them both together
For all their toys before bed every night until he got them used-
