somewhere theres a soldier, he's flying overseas, he's an airborne ranger, hes in another land, but don't you shed him no tears, he don't want your sympathy, cuz he's an airborne ranger, thats all he wants to be. somewhere theres a mother, she crying in her hands, her sons an airborne ranger, hes in another land, but don't you shed him no tears, he don't want your sympathy, cuz he's an airborne ranger, thats all he wants to be. Somewhere theres a father, hes proud as can be, his son's an airborne ranger, hes in another land, but don't you shed him no tears, he don't want your sympathy, cuz hes an airborne ranger, thats all he wants to be. one day there came a letter, and a knock upon the door, it said sorry to inform ya, but your ranger is no more, but don't you shed him no tears, he don't want your sympathy, hes an airborne ranger, thats all he wanted to be
