Find Me Where The River Runs Green

Rest Easy Soldier

Rest easy soldier another day comes

Lay your rifle in the dirt after a polish

Let it go, let your stress demolish

Lay back and reminisce the taste of the baker's dozen

Think back on times you had with siblings, friends and cousins

Let go the memories of the enemy scum

And stop adding your griefs to a sum

Lay back no more weary and be struck dumb

Surrender to laziness and let the wounds go numb

Let your forehead waves calm to a gentle sea

Let your mind picture your maiden's glee

Sound her laughter

Not the artillery shell clatter

Let it all go and suppose a happily ever after

Pay no mind to the bodies you lay rest

For that is war's cruelest test

To put those under and forget them is best

Rest easy soldier the ghost of shadows comes

Rest easy and forget your problems in rum

But if he still comes to beckon

Rest easy soldier for you now will awake at the gates of heaven
