No Soldiers Have Been Lost HD

No Soldiers Have Been Lost No soldiers have been lost, Please stop using that strange word. We haven’t lost a single soldier, Why, the notion’s quite absurd! I know you’ve read the news, And the headlines all call out The latest death toll of our army, Ach, the numbers make you shout. A dear son from the city, Fathers, husbands from the south, Sixty four’s the latest number, You’re foaming at the mouth. “How dare they take our boys?!” “This war is running wild!” “Now our brother’s gone forever.” “We’ve lost another child!!” But that word is incorrect, For the only things we lose, Are keys and pens and other stuff Material like our shoes. You can’t lose a soldier, Why, that concept is insane! All soldiers fight on battlefields, And that’s where they remain. When a soldier gets a call To head off to his mission, He doesn’t ask or contemplate, He marches with ambition. At times he’ll be on land, And at times he’ll be at sea, And at times he’ll be sent underground, To fight the enemy. Now, soldiers move in rank, Their successes makes them rise, Besides a badge and shiny medal, They receive a different prize. They’re trusted with commands, To conquer missions oh, so rare! Full of danger and importance, They must use their utmost care. They’ll be hidden from the eyes, Of their buddies on the ground, As they intensify their fighting, From this new spot where they’re found. A soldier means a fighter, Someone always on the field. He’ll even risk his life down here, To be his nation’s shield. No soldiers have been lost, And now you know just why: They’re still fighting for our people, But they’re doing it from High. -Chava M 4 Menachem Av IDF Operation Protective Edge
