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