Lay Me Down Where the Wild Grass Grows ( A Soldier's Lament)

by Simon Forge

I wanted to do a song for Veterans Day this year so in writing the lyrics I wanted the listener to feel what a soldier must go through from enlistment to the end of his time in the service. How people react to him as he goes into the service and what he thinks and feels as he experiences his time in the military.. I hope this song draws the listener into the mind of a soldier.
