120 DEGREES
One hundred twenty degrees by day
One hundred degrees by night
Sleep eludes the soldier
Exhausted by this plight.
Day after day the carnage continues
Iraqi Freedom endures
Promoting peace and democracy
That's what they're striving for.
How much we take for granted
And complain at the simplest thing
Put yourself in their boots just once
Not knowing what the 'morrow will bring.
So tonight when you say your prayers
And are tucked away safely in sleep
Remember the faraway soldier
And thank God for the freedom we keep.
