I met a soldier on the base at Fort Hood

I said how do you do it

He said there's bad with the good

And no matter how tough it gets

The soldier stands strong

Keeping our family flag and country free

And righting the wrong

I met a soldier she was thanking me

At first it was strange to hear

Then I started to see

What it meant to have someone

Appreciate her sacrifice

And everything she gives for us

Defending our rights

God bless the soldier

As they walk the streets

Let them know how much it means

To have them keep our country free

When you meet a soldier stand and salute

Take a moment to show your love

For everything that they do

Don't be afraid give them your praise

For this is the stranger that is willing

To give their life for you

God bless the soldier
