I remember when I was much younger than now   I used to sit and listen to the news   I was the only child   And another day and another night   Wishin' daddy would come home   Me and mom couldn't sleep at night      He had just went off to fight   For the things we thought were right   So determined to survive   I believe he's still alive      I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers   This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers      I wrote to my Congressman   He sends his regrets   That he's missing in action   But don't give up yet      So many people   Waitin' like me   Who's got the answer   What could it be      His country wanted him to fight   For the things they thought were right   And he tried to give his all   In DC his name is on the wall      I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers   This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers   I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers   This is the ballad for the fallen soldiers      He had just went off to fight   For the things we thought were right   So determined to survive   I believe he's still alive      I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers   This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers      I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers   This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers
