Stand Tall Young Soldier

Traci Mercado 1977 (PA)

Thought you knew it all kid, but you really had no idea.
Some stayed longer than others did, but eventually they too just disappeared.
Stand up straight! Hold your head up! You have got no time to cry on anyone's shoulder.
The entire world is pounding at the gate. It is your time to survive, stay focused, and never give up, young soldier.
