Josh Gracin The Other Little Soldier Lyrics

The Other Little Soldier Lyrics

He used to play in daddy's uniform 

With the stripes across the sleeve

And he knew when he was all grown up 

What he was gonna to be

He used to like to ambush every careless cat or dog 

That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn



And even though he didn't know 

What his dad was fighting for

He was proud to be the other little soldier

In this war



The phone rang in the middle of the night 

When they called his dad to go

Kissed him and his mom goodbye

And said God I love you both

I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man

But hold the fort and 

I'll be home as quickly as I can



And even though he didn't know 

What his dad was fighting for

He was proud to be the other little soldier 

In this war



A wall cannot begin to hold 

The names of all the kids

Who gave the great sacrifice 

That any child could give



It was the first time he had ever seen 

A flag from up that close

And he watched them as 

They folded it so careful and so slow

As they gave it to his mother 

He knew what he should do

He raised his little hand and 

Gave his dad one last solute



And even though he didn't know 

What his dad was fighting for

He was proud to be the other little soldier 

He was proud to be the other little soldier

In this war
