[Verse 1]
In another day or so
He'll be one year older
God bless his soul
Barely 18 years old
When he became a soldier
God bless his soul
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not like he didn't know
The way that things could go
Hope was all he had to cope
But he never made it home
[Chorus]
Well, I hope and pray
That when God called his name
He did not die in vain
I like to think he died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And he's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life he gave
[Verse 2]
In another year or so
She might have been a mother
God bless her soul
But she'll never get to hold
Her baby girl or know her
God bless their souls
In another day or so
He'll be one year older
God bless his soul
Barely 18 years old
When he became a soldier
God bless his soul
[Pre-Chorus]
It's not like he didn't know
The way that things could go
Hope was all he had to cope
But he never made it home
[Chorus]
Well, I hope and pray
That when God called his name
He did not die in vain
I like to think he died for you and me
And I hope one day
When we look back again
And he's just a memory
That we'll appreciate and respect the life he gave
[Verse 2]
In another year or so
She might have been a mother
God bless her soul
But she'll never get to hold
Her baby girl or know her
God bless their souls
