Who&rsquo;s a friend or relation, or lives on your street.<br>
Did you travel to countries that we&rsquo;ve never seen?<br>
Did you take lots of photos of the places you&rsquo;ve been?<br>
Did you try all the foods in those countries afar?<br>
Did you fly there, or drive there, in your shiny new car?<br>

Is have you faced danger, or fought in a war?</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">The soldier will tell you of those times with his friends,<br>
When they drank lots of whisky, of various blends.<br>
He&rsquo;ll gladly tell you of the sports that he plays,<br>
And of places he&rsquo;s been to on warm summer days.<br>
He&rsquo;ll smile as he tells you of foreign romances,<br>
And the beautiful ladies he&rsquo;s met as he dances.<br>
But he won&rsquo;t be grateful if you ask him the score,<br>
Of the shots that he&rsquo;s fired when he&rsquo;s fought in a war.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph">There are things that a soldier would rather forget.<br>
That are never discussed when with comrades he&rsquo;s met.<br>
The moments of terror, the hours of shock,<br>
The days spent in fear are the memories he&rsquo;ll block.<br>
He will have moody days and he&rsquo;ll have sleepless nights,<br>
As his mind tries to forget unforgettable sights.<br>
So whenever you think that this soldier&rsquo;s a bore,<br>
Just give him your patience, he&rsquo;s a victim of war</p>

There are things you can ask any soldier you meet;
Who&rsquo;s a friend or relation, or lives on your street.

Did you try all the foods in those countries afar?

But one question he won&rsquo;t have a set answer for,
