Ballad For The Fallen Soldier Lyrics - The Isley Brothers

I remember when I was much younger than now 

I used to sit and listen to the news 

I was the only child 

And another day and another night 

Wishin' daddy would come home 

Me and mom couldn't sleep at night 

He had just went off to fight 

For the things we thought were right 

So determined to survive 

I believe he's still alive 

I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers 

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers 

I wrote to my Congressman 

He sends his regrets 

That he's missing in action 

But don't give up yet

So many people 

Waitin' like me 

Who's got the answer 

What could it be 

His country wanted him to fight 

For the things they thought were right 

And he tried to give his all 

In DC his name is on the wall 

I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers 

This is a ballad for the fallen soldiers 

I sing the ballad for the fallen soldiers 

This is the ballad for the fallen soldiers 

He had just went off to fight 

For the things we thought were right 

So determined to survive 

I believe he's still alive
