Deep in the battlefield

Deep in the battlefield, covered in blood.

Lies an airborne ranger dying in the mud.

He fought for his country and died like a man.

Though some people back home, just wouldn't understand.

Airborne Ranger

Back at home, his young wife waits

Unknowing of her ranger's fate.

Their little boy crying as he's tucked into bed.

Although no one told him, his daddy is dead.

Airborne Ranger

The boy grew up with a certain kind of shame.

His father is in a tomb with no name.

He finally got his chance when his country went to war.

He went to enlist to even the score.

Airborne Ranger

Out of 93 men, he got his green beret.

He stood there, gazing upon the crowd.

He looked up at the sky and hoped his daddy is proud.
