WHEN A SOLDIER DIES Lyrics and Music by Anthony Hutchcroft

When a Soldier Dies, will his loss be felt by you?
Is there nothing more that any of us can do?
Will we stand in silence at the evening news...or wait until November?
When a Soldier Dies...there's one more to remember

When a Soldier Dies, do we know what he's fighting for?
Was he keeping the peace or fighting someone else's war?
We may never know the life he might have had...the life that he surrendered
When a Soldier Dies...we just need to remember

When a Soldier Dies, has a parent lost a child?
Will his name be more than another statistic filed?
Did he even get a chance to say goodbye...to a single family member?
When a Soldier Dies...there are others to remember

When a Soldier Dies, it's the ultimate sacrifice
Do we understand...for freedom we pay a price?
As each conflict fades into the history books...just like a dying ember
When a Soldier Dies...we will...Remember

Sadly but true, when a soldier dies, there is one more to remember. I will never be able to show my gratitude to these service men and women for making this a better world for my family.
