Soldiers & Jesus - James Otto

Well granddaddy came home in a B-52

In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue

He was one of the brave and the proud and the few

21 guns helped us say goodbye

I stood there in silence trying hard not to cry

As the preacher he quoted lines written in red

And he folded his bible in a broken voice he said

There’s only two people whose ever died for me

Laid down their lives just so I could be free

They both went through hell bared crosses and shells

And both got back up again after they fell

They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces

God only knows where we’d be without soldiers and Jesus

It seems like the news loves to run em both down

Whenever we need em there always around

So don’t hand me a parties political views

There’s left side and right side and then there’s the truth

There’s only two people whose ever died for me

Laid down their lives just so I could be free

They both went through hell bared crosses and shells

And both got back up again after they fell

They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces

God only knows where we’d be without soldiers and Jesus

To me there both heroes for the path that they chose

One fights for my life one fights for my soul

There’s only two people whose ever died for me

Laid down their lives just so I could be free

They both went through hell bared crosses and shells

And both got back up again after they fell

They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces

God only knows where we’d be without soldiers and Jesus

Soldiers and Jesus
