Other Little Soldier Lyrics - Josh Gracin - Josh Gracin

He used to play in daddy's uniform 

With the stripes across the sleeve 

And he knew when he was all grown up 

What he was gonna to be 

He used to like to ambush every careless cat or dog 

That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn 

And even though he didn't know 

What his dad was fighting for 

He was proud to be the other little soldier 

In this war 

The phone rang in the middle of the night 

When they called his dad to go 

Kissed him and his mom goodbye 

And said God I love you both 

I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man 

But hold the fort and 

I'll be home as quickly as I can

And even though he didn't know 

What his dad was fighting for 

He was proud to be the other little soldier 

In this war 

A wall cannot begin to hold 

The names of all the kids 

Who gave the great sacrifice 

That any child could give 

It was the first time he had ever seen 

A flag from up that close 

And he watched them as 

They folded it so careful and so slow 

As they gave it to his mother 

He knew what he should do 

He raised his little hand and 

Gave his dad one last salute

And even though he didn't know 

What his dad was fighting for 

He was proud to be the other little soldier 

He was proud to be the other little soldier 

In this war
