The Uniform lyrics

The uniform isn't just a cloth

To those with some time

The ribbons show experiences

Life's better and bad times

The hash marks that climb

Memories of years gone by

The rank knows leadership

From a private to general

The uniform fits different

But then it is not alone

The decorations depicted

Command earned respect

The cloth does not make

The man who bears it

But when a man sheds it

He feels loss, all do

And the saying holds true

Old soldiers never die

They just fade away...
