“Miles From Home (A Soldier’s Song)”

Music & Lyrics by Michael Riser

The ground is trembling as I write this, might be my last words
And I’m remembering what you told me, it helps give me courage
And I’m not here for medals, don’t wanna talk ‘bout what I’ve done what I’ve seen
Just wish that I could hold you one more time, but I’ve got a promise to keep

Miles From Home, Miles From Home, as I roam, don’t let my memory grow cold
Miles From Home, Miles From Home, if I fall, just say a prayer for my soul

Another fire fight, dawns early light, and the rockets’ red glare
Our jet fueled fighters fly, and though the sky, bombs bursting in air
And just like our forefathers, I’ll serve with honor, this is my Valley Forge
‘Cause my God made me a soldier, like I told ya, and a soldier belongs

Miles From Home, Miles From Home, as I roam, don’t let my memory grow cold
Miles From Home, Miles From Home, if I fall, just say a prayer for my soul

And so I go, ‘cause the time’s come to hear my country’s call    (Let’s Roll)

Miles From Home, Miles From Home, as I roam, don’t let my memory grow cold
Miles From Home, Miles From Home, if I fall, just light a candle and say a prayer for my soul

Miles From Home, Miles From Home  

Miles From Home, Miles From Home

The ground is trembling as I write this, might be my last words
