Kiss him on the forehead,
for he is my father
The strongest man
Brought me up with
HONESTY, DIGNITY AND PRIDE
Dad, how will I survive?
Open your eyes
Can’t you see
this life
he never wanted for me
I’m sorry Dad once again
I really am
Want you to know I love you so…
You’re right I won’t give up the fight
A soldier I will be
Watch me
You will see
How proud you
Will finally be
This is how it’s meant to be
PROUD and FREE
YEAH! THAT WILL BE ME!
