He wasn't very big br And he wasn't very strong br But he fought for his country br Be it right or wrong, br Little more than a child as he handled a gun, br And his parents prayed for their only son. br Over the country the battle raged on br And his parents prayed for their only son, br They longed to take him by the hand, br Away, from that horrible war-torn land, br Although he was wounded he fought on still br The shots rang out over valley and hill.
