In a small town
He lived and played
Growing up a small town boy
Playing in creeks and ponds
Rivers and streams
Playing wildly in the streets
Knowing all the kids in town
For he did come from a small little town
Leaving for college he said goodbye to his mom and dad
To move away and learn to become a man
Becoming a man he chose respect
Respect for his country
A nation in need
He went from a man to becoming a soldier
He moved from college and traveled far
Leaving his friends and family he knew and loved once more
He traveled to new heights where he’d never been before
For the soldier he now is is active worldwide
For the love of his country
Faith
And respect
He made his choice in love and respect
To die at the hand of his country
Giving his life as a man for the very men who give there lives each day sometimes becoming the next man to pass away
Raised in a small town
As a young boy
He saw the image of a God who sent his son to save the life of all humanity
He grew up in faith
And surrendered all
Deciding in that town he wanted to be that man
So as a soldier he moved around
As an honor to his country and his town
To embrace and respect all the honors he could
Becoming a man
To becoming a soldier
Leaving all he knew to sacrifice all he had to be a hero
Becoming a man of honor for all
Like Christ
He died at the hand of fire for his family
For his friends
For his country
Becoming not only a soldier
But a true honorable man
In a small town
from a boy to a soldier to a man
Giving his life for his country in respect for all
