We Never Met You

We Never Met You

We never met you

Maybe we never would

You were the good girl

Never hurting anyone

But you could not stand the evil

You knew you had to do something

Something to help all mankind

You traded your skirts for fatigues

Your make up for a rifle

And you fought for your flag

Bullets flew past your head

And bombs blew up next you

But you never gave up

You kept fighting the fight

Until the one bullet you didn’t hear

Now you come home to an honor guard

Covered by the flag you loved so much

We never met you

Maybe we never would

But we will cry for you

And for all those who came back with you

Under the flag they loved

None of you will ever be forgotten
