I just got my first letter since I’ve been here  And I’ve read it hundred times since yesterday  It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear  And it promised me there were more on the way  More were on the way    ‘You see I’m a solider boy  Standing on top of mountains  And these snowy peaks thou beautiful  Try to freeze me to the bone  There are some many things that I worry about  Cause I’m fifteen thousand miles away from my home    And it warms my father to be proud of me  And I hope my momma can’t feel me cry  And it warms my friends to think I’m a hero  And I want God to make sure that I don’t die  You’ve gotta make sure I don’t     This is the way it is when your where I’m from  I come from a long rich legacy  Of people posing with flags and guns  The man says I’ve got so much of this world too learn about  Oh, and this might be my only way out    So it warms my father to be proud of me  And I hope my momma can’t feel me cry  And I want my friends to think I’m a hero  And I want God to make sure that I don’t die  You gotta make sure I don’t   You gotta make sure I don’t     I just got my first letter since I’ve been here  And I’ve read it hundred times since yesterday  It was warm relief from this chilly cage of fear  And it promised me there were more on the way  More were on the way  More were on the way  More were on the way
