Roger Chapman Unknown Soldier
Sailing downstream – fishing shack forever crying tough
Like Jesus tried to walk on water really did his stuff
Then upped one day & said –
I’ll head where angels fear to tread
Made good his dreams of halls & kings meeting movie queens
Visiting his mama in a cold green limousine
Then desperately he cried
I’ll try where eagles dare to fly
There’s a light in every window
A key for every door
A bridge on every rainbow
I can’t get to heaven no more
He took the hand of Scheherazade & pinnacled the heights
Of powdered nose & panty hose
& old Arabian nights
Then was heard a scream – I dream what even god’s ain’t seen
He took the wings from Gabriel’s shoulders
& the glint from the eagles eyes
The fearlessness of the unknown shoulder
That he knew would get him by
