I Paid The Price

I am a soldier who paid the price.
I gave my life, I sacrificed.
My family, my friends, no more I'll see,
I gave my life so they could be free.
This country I loved, with all my might,
I did the things I thought was right.
Far off I went to fight a war,
I gave my life, I live no more.
Cry for me not, no tears should you shed,
I died for my country, for my country I bled.
In the earth I lie, with our flag in my hands,
I'm taking it with me to the promised land.
