We've been gone for so long Our rations are low Sleepless nights under gray skies are going to show When we left from our homes Our confidence high, would we know just how to get back Well I'll be marching forward Is this trial with our lives? How would we win this war? Who among will survive? With my comrades beside me The glory aside, I've forgotten what country we'll meet in this fight While our sweethearts at home Await for the news Will they be kind or they'll be cruel? I hope to see the morning I hope to die in my sleep Will death come without warning? Pray my soul got to keep cold rain and snow Good to see my dear wife And my children free Just once more, one more glance and my soul would be free Oh dear god would you keep them from sorrow again One humble wish in my despair Would my life have meant something? Will my death be in vain? Will I ascend triumphant? Is there end to this pain? The cold rain and snow
