March Little Soldier

By Amanda Schwarz

March little soldier, in a great parade

March little soldier, trust this great charade

March little soldier, on way to inevitable glory

March little soldier, past deaths brutal and gory

March little soldier, past children in the street

March little soldier, they’re kicking rubble with their feet

March little soldier, don’t breathe in the smoke

March little soldier, on churches you will choke

March little soldier, march so far from home

March little soldier, look how much you’ve grown!

March little soldier, remember your calling

March little soldier, on the ground of good men falling

March little soldier, back through the past

See all the ruin, 

See how it lasts

But that’s okay little soldier, the enemy is gone!

You’re a good little soldier, 

March on

March on
