Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Another sunrise bleeds through the camo tent Got dirt in my boots and a letter I never sent My mama’s voice echoes in the wind She says, “Son, come home,” but I ain’t done defendin’ I’ve seen young men cry with blood on their hands Still we stand tall in the desert sands I didn’t come here lookin’ for glory or fame But I swore an oath — and I’ll hold that flame ⸻ [Chorus] 🕊 This is a soldier’s prayer — Keep my brothers safe out there If I don’t come home tonight Tell ‘em I went out right With my flag on my chest, And my boots in the dirt Let my name be blessed — Not forgotten or hurt And if I fall, don’t cry — just swear You’ll live free — that’s a soldier’s prayer ⸻ [Verse 2] The gunfire’s louder than the voice in my head But I still remember every word my daughter said She drew a heart on a folded flag Said “Bring this home, and don’t look back” I’ve watched brave souls breathe their last And still we press forward — never the past I ain’t scared of death, but I pray for peace So the next generation won’t march like me ⸻ [Chorus] 🕊 This is a soldier’s prayer — Keep my brothers safe out there If I don’t come home tonight Tell ‘em I went out right With my flag on my chest, And my boots in the dirt Let my name be blessed — Not forgotten or hurt And if I fall, don’t cry — just swear You’ll live free — that’s a soldier’s prayer ⸻ [Bridge – Spoken + Build-up] “To every soul who wears the uniform… To the ones who came home and the ones who never did… We carry your legacy in every heartbeat…” ⸻ [Final Chorus – Full Power] 🕊 This is a soldier’s prayer — Hold the line, I’ll meet you there If the sky goes black with fight I’ll still be burning bright With my dog tags rusted, And my story told Let my memory rise When the nights grow cold And if I fall, don’t cry — just swear You’ll live free — that’s a soldier’s prayer
