He used to play in daddy's uniform, with the stripes accross the sleeve
And he knew when he was all grown up, what he was gonna be
He use to like to ambush, every careless cat or dog
that had the nerve to cross,by the lines he'd drawn
_chorus_
and even though he didn't know what his dad was fightin' for
He was proud to be the other little soldier....In this world
_chorus end_
The phone rang int he middle of the night ,when they called his dad to go
Kissed him and his mom goodbye and said, god'll help you both
Now I know that it's alot to ask of such a little man
But hold the fort and I'll be home as quickly as I can
_Chorus_
and even though he didn't know what his dad was fightin' for
He was proud to be the other little soldier...In this world
_Chorus end_
It was the first time, he'd ever seen a flag from up that close
He watched them as they folded it so careful and so slow
As they gave it to his mother, he knew what he should do
He raised his little arm and gave his dad one last salute.
_Chorus then fade out_
-Josh Gracin
I actually teared up to this song.
