Ode to Valor

Little soldier boy Going off to war Will he come back No one knows Like toy soldiers On a chessboard Pieces we move around No one knows 'Cuz everyone wants to be a hero Everyone wants something to believe in Everyone tells a different story But they all get misaligned Little soldier boy Going off to war Will he come back No one knows Like toy soldiers On a chessboard Pieces we move around No one knows Valiant deeds and honor We all want to collect them You know it's true You just gotta do what you gotta do 'Cuz everyone wants to be a hero Everyone wants something to believe in Everyone tells a different story But they all get misaligned Little soldier boy Going off to war Will he come back No one knows Like toy soldiers On a chessboard Pieces we move around No one knows No one knows the price they pay They move around every piece in every way Sometimes you can't define But no one knows They sacrifice so we can live Without thinking of their gift When the last word leaves their lips No one knows In the bubble we call home Little soldier boy Going off to war Will he come back No one knows
