With a kiss and a hug
I'm on my way
I've been anxiously waiting
For this day
It's too late for me
To change my mind
And sure of my decision
Is what I find
I quit my job
I'll move away
This is so ridiculous
Many people say
It's hard to understand
The move I've made
But my service and time
I haven't paid
So many people
Have laid down their life
So others can live
Without daily strife
I want to provide
What I can give
Which in turn
Could help people live
My friends and family
Behind me they stand
They always try to give
A helping hand
To leave behind
Everything I know
Makes this harder
But I have to go
With a little bit of fear
But filled more with excite
The choice was difficult
But I know my decision is right
I'm not sure where I'll go
Or exactly what I'll do
But I'm proud to serve my country
And be a Soldier too
