In fields where poppies dare not bloom
The young are called to face their doom
Green behind the ears, they stand
With rifles thrust in trembling hands
Oh, the drums of war beat loud and clear
But it's the sound of hope that drowns their fear
In the heart of battle, where nightmares roam
A soldier finds a dog, a friend, a home
They march to orders, not to dreams
Their innocence ripped at the seams
In the dance of death, they find their part
With every beat, a breaking heart
Oh, the drums of war beat loud and clear
But it's the sound of hope that drowns their fear
In the heart of battle, where nightmares roam
A soldier finds a dog, a friend, a home
Amidst the chaos, the smoke, and the fire
A bond is forged, a testament to desire
For in the eyes of a dog, so loyal and brave
Lies the strength to be kind, the power to save
Oh, the drums of war beat loud and clear
But it's the sound of hope that drowns their fear
In the heart of battle, where nightmares roam
A soldier finds a dog, a friend, a home
And when the guns fall silent, and the smoke clears away
May they see the dawn of a brighter day
For every soldier's heart that yearns for peace
May they find their solace, may the war cease
So here's to the young, the brave, the bold
May they find their way back from the cold
With a dog by their side, and stars above
May they remember the world still holds love
In the quiet moments, in the gentle night
May they hold onto hope, may they grasp it tight
With the dog as their guardian, through the darkest fight
May they carry the torch, may they be the light
