Once I cuddled you,watched you at rest
Now you're one of our nation`s best
You're a United States Soldier
I dried your tears and bandaged your knee
When you wanted comfort, you came to me
Now you're defending the Land of the Free
You're A United States Soldier
Once I told you never to fight
Unless you were standing for what is right
Now you help make up America`s might
You're A United States Soldier
The day you left, I thought I would die
I hated for you to see me cry
How could my boy, My sweet little guy
Become A United States Soldier?
Graduation day was emotional and fun
Two hundred new soldiers, each an Army of one
You said "I made it Mom!" ...I said "Hooah, son!
You're A United States Soldier!"
You're still my baby; it will always be so
Whatever you do and wherever you go
But you're also a man, one I`m proud to know
You're A United States Soldier
Now you're one of our nation`s best
You're a United States Soldier
I dried your tears and bandaged your knee
When you wanted comfort, you came to me
Now you're defending the Land of the Free
You're A United States Soldier
Once I told you never to fight
Unless you were standing for what is right
Now you help make up America`s might
You're A United States Soldier
The day you left, I thought I would die
I hated for you to see me cry
How could my boy, My sweet little guy
Become A United States Soldier?
Graduation day was emotional and fun
Two hundred new soldiers, each an Army of one
You said "I made it Mom!" ...I said "Hooah, son!
You're A United States Soldier!"
You're still my baby; it will always be so
Whatever you do and wherever you go
But you're also a man, one I`m proud to know
You're A United States Soldier
