The greatest fear of a military man br Wasn’t fighting the enemy on their land. br But a dear john letter from the states br Saying that his girl couldn’t wait. br br This makes him less attentive br to what’s going around br That he doesn’t pay attention br To what’s on the ground. br He won’t see that mine br That is laying there, and if he does br He just doesn’t care. br br As a soldier in a war zone br You must realize that your not alone. br Your fellow soldiers depend upon you br To help see them through. br br You must take care of each other br For they are your sisters and brothers. br They are there when you need a friend br And will be there to the end. br br Would you prefer to receive that letter? br Or to find out that she stepped out on you? br It is a decision that is hard to do. br br Your life is worth much more than a letter br And once out of the war zone things will be better. br Confide in your fellow soldiers as they confide br In you, and they will help you see it through. br br When you get back to the states, then you br Can look her in the eye, and then tell her br It’s goodbye, but until then, take that letter br And tear it apart- the way she tore up your heart.
