Another soldier crossed the line
Never saw that hidden mine
A flash of light – expression grim
Body torn – limb from limb..
A dream serene – the passing of a life
Leaves another grieving wife..
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
Those nights you spent – in early spring
The shells that made your tender ears ring..
Sitting by the campfire light
Thoughts lost in the night
You're going home – way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon..
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
You're going home – way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon.
It's a job – he used to say
Just a way to earn his pay
Never thought – he'd die like this -
no mothers arms – no girlfriends kiss..
Young man young man
Never thought he'd die like this..
Never saw that hidden mine
A flash of light – expression grim
Body torn – limb from limb..
A dream serene – the passing of a life
Leaves another grieving wife..
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
Those nights you spent – in early spring
The shells that made your tender ears ring..
Sitting by the campfire light
Thoughts lost in the night
You're going home – way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon..
Young man young man
Was it ever in the plan
You're going home – way too soon
Another corpse beneath that strawberry moon.
It's a job – he used to say
Just a way to earn his pay
Never thought – he'd die like this -
no mothers arms – no girlfriends kiss..
Young man young man
Never thought he'd die like this..

Lyrics & Music by Alan Gardiner and Roger Peatman
Album: Voyager [2010]
A TRIBUTE TO ALL SOLDIERS ! This song is not about the Politics or the Rights or Wrongs of War, Just the story of serving soldier and what they endure 365 days a year !
"The Idea for the song came after watching a documentary about Life (and Death ) on the Front line in Afghanistan and Iraq.."
