The Lonely Soldier
When a heart is broken
What does it feel
Is it like a rollercoaster
The turning of the wheel
When a heart is broken
Does it even cry
Like the rain fallen from heaven
Of the dark cloudy sky
When a heart is broken
Does it feel blue
Like the depths of the ocean
With the water pure and true
When a heart is broken
Does it feel alone
Like a soldier on the field
With all of his brothers gone
When a heart is broken
Does it feel like this
I'm just a lonely soldier
In a country that has just one wish…
I Am A Soldier
I am a soldier
I am a fighter
I am a son
I am a glider
I am full of anger
I am full of fear
Though my time was called
Please don't shed a tear
For I have fought my battle
Though I have lost
But I have done my best
And this is the cost
To my country
Though I did fall
To my family
I love you all
I have done my best
To stay alive
The rules of engagement
I did abide
Till I come home
Please show your support
For I am a soldier
And this is my report…

Aaron Eckhart On Playing a “Battle: LA” Marine: “Hoo-Rah!”
When it came to playing a US Marine staff sergeant in “Battle: Los Angeles,” Aaron Eckhart really embraced the Corps’ gung ho tradition.
“I broke my arm on this movie doing a stunt,” Eckhart tells PopcornBiz. “I was doing a stunt and I jumped off a seven foot thing and landed and broke my arm and kept on going. I did the whole last half of the movie with a broken arm, which I thought was fun!”
