Rise

I have seen people die,
And their families cry.
I have seen soldiers fight,
In the middle of a night.
I have seen people struggle,
And families stumble.
I have seen brave men fall,
Filled with youth and all.
I have seen the bloody war,
And stopped questioning what for?
I have seen the bodies and blood,
Mixed with the flow of mud.
They gave up their lives protecting our country,
And people said they just died abruptly.

My father always said, a soldier never dies,

And just like the breeze they rise through the skies,

Shining in front of our eyes,

Like the fireflies.
