~
He marches through the barricades and fights across the line
Heâs seen some things he never thought heâd see
Heâs working through each order one step at a time
Heâs not allowed to dream of where he could be
~
Cause sheâs at home and crying for him
While heâs out there and theyâre dyinâ for him
One wrong move is all it takes to
Take a life away
~
Heâll keep marching,
Heâll keep fighting till the sun appears again
Heâll never stop but
Itâll be worth it in the
When he comes home to see his family happy, laughing and alive
He wouldnât change a thing cause
He helped them survive
In the dark
In the light
In the war that he just came from
Right to the end
He will fight
Until everything is done
Heâll keep marching in the sand
To the sound of the old drum band
That is waiting for him to come home
~
A maiden met her perfect man amongst the summer grass
A memory that haunts inside her mind
Heâs trying to get home but knows the others would not last
Just a little longer will be fine
~
Cause sheâs at home and crying for him
While heâs out there and theyâre dyinâ for him
One wrong move is all it takes to
Take a life away

Heâll keep marching,
Heâll keep fighting till the sun appears again
Heâll never stop but
Itâll be worth it in the

In the dark

She s sitting in the kitchen when she hears the doorbell ring.
She sees two men she hoped sheâs never see.
She has to take a seat when they tell her everything
Sheâs breaking as she thinks: what could have been
~
Now sheâs at home and crying for him
No one else is dyinâ for him
One wrong move was all it took to
Take his life away
~
He s stopped marching
Heâs stopped fighting
And the sun appeared again
He had to stop but it was worth it in the end
Though heâs not home to see his family happy
Laughing and alive
He wouldn t change a thing
Cause he helped them survive
In the dark
In the light
In the war that he had fought in
Until the end
He shined so bright
And now everything is done
Now he s lying in the sand
And the beat of the old drum band
Plays out melodies of those that want him home
