Spent the day in the studio with my sister and father recording an original song, “Soldier”. Here’s the demo cut.

Lyrics:
She looked up at him as he stood there in the doorway
And she saw him grin, and he blew a little kiss
then the car pulled up outside, she heard gravel under tires
and her brother in his uniform was gone
.
He wrote letters home, from the desert and the mountains
And he spoke of love for his brothers there in arms
and she hung on every word and she held them in her heart
as she prayed for her soldier to come home
.
This is for the mothers who are crying deep inside
and this is for the fathers who are silent in their pride
and this is for the little sister praying
Bring my brother home
.
It was spring outside, daddy had the windows open
Sunday afternoon not a single word was spoken
then a car pulled up outside, they heard gravel under tires
and a man in uniform was at the door
.
This is for the mothers who are crying deep inside
and this is for the fathers who are silent in their pride
and this is for the little sister praying
.
This is for the mothers who are crying deep inside
and this is for the fathers who are silent in their pride
and this is for the little sister praying
.
She looked up at him as he stood there in the doorway
and he saw her grin, so he blew a little kiss.
