Song Description

Farther sees his little boy grow up to be a soldier then die a hero very powerfull

Lyrics

From the time he was 5 years old
He always wanted to be the next GI Joe
And I just smiled when he said to me
I'm gonna' save the world someday

So I patted him on the head
Tucked my little soldier into bed
Daddy I heard a noise outside
Son, it's just a little rain

It's just a little rain
Tappin' on the window paine
It's just a little rain
Trying to say hello

Grew up fast and got so tall
A childhood dream sent him off to war
So proud of the man I saw
Walking to the plane

Wiped the worry from my eyes
Wrapped my bitter sadness in a smile
Raised my hand to wave goobye and I
felt a drop fall from the sky and thought

It's just a little rain
Tears that were bound to come
It's just a little rain
But I'm gonna' miss the son

( musical Break )

It's the saddest thing in life
Everything that's born eventually dies
It's impossible to say goodbye
when your heart won't let go

Late September in a living hell
A half a click from a black hawk down
Rushes in and pulls em' all out
Lays down cover til' there safe and sound

Bullet hit but he held his own
He knew right then that he wouldn't make it home
Felt the life running from his veins
As he lays there in the pouring rain thinkin'

It's just a little rain
Like I told him long ago
It's just a little rain
child they'll bring you home

He never strayed from his dream at all
But Autumn winds blow cold and some leaves fall
On the bed in his empty room
A mother cries and says it's just to soon

Mama it'll be alright
If we can just make it through tonight
Just be proud of the son that shined
Oh I miss the days

when it was

Just a little rain
Tappin' on the window paine
It's just a little rain
Trying to say hello

It's just a little rain
It'll wash away the pain
It's just a little rain
So let him go
