BOY SOLDIER
THE BREZNICKY PROJECT
Music and Lyrics by David M. Breznicky

A boy grows up and leaves this town
Going south, battle bound
Goes to base, soon in flight
Tangle with an enemy, nowhere in sight.

Chorus I
He’s so young, just eighteen years old
Able to fight; wear army clothes
Not able to drink, just able to smoke
Fight for his country, seems like a joke
He’s going now so far away
Some foreign soil; last week he’s at play
He’s gonna go with all his might
Seek the enemy, that boy will fight
He’ll learn to fight.

Chorus II
Boy, hope to see you again
Minutes ago, he’s playing in the yard with some friends
He says I don’t know, know, know what I’m fighting for
Some man in some white house said we’re going to war
And I’ll fight, fight, fight to the bitter end
I’m your soldier and friend

I look at you and I see tears
You look at me and I see fear
Nothing I’ve ever seen before
My Boy Soldier never been to war

Planes crashing from the sky
Buildings crumble, victims die
Innocence lost with no fight
Terrorists hide, nowhere in sight
As they hide behind our fears.

I know, know, know what I’m fighting for
Nation’s freedom found hidden in a hole
Mixed emotions, say it’s not right
Mixed values, the cost of a life
I know, know, know what I’m fighting for
Cost of freedom, as it creates war
I hope, hope, hope to see you again
Your soldier and friend.
I hope this war will soon end.
