Wrote this as a young man in Vietnam many years ago. I think it applies to today as well.
Soldier Boy
I see you Falling
I hear you calling
Far from home, all alone

Soldier Boy
I hear you crying
I see you dying
Far from home, all alone
No one cared, no one dared
Question why you died.

Soldier Boy
We saw you falling
We heard you calling
Far from home, you're not alone
We all care, we all dare
Question why you die.

Soldier Boy
We see your family
We hear them calling
On their knees, begging please
Don't leave him far from home, all alone
They care, they'll dare
Question why you died.
