You see him on the campus
As he studies with his friends
They mean no harm, they laugh
And call him preacher now and then
His words are few, he saves them
Til' he's home and on his knees
That's where he's a warrior
And he fights to see them free

He's the unknown soldier
The unsung hero, the brother on the street
He's the unknown soldier
The holy warrior who will never sound retreat
He's your unseen comrade
And his triumph will be sweet
He's the unknown soldier

There's been no bloody torture
No burning at the stake
There will be no published memoirs
No memorial for his sake
And no one calls him martyr
His blood has not been shed
Still in combat he's been faithful
In the little things instead

He's the unknown soldier
The unsung hero, the brother on the street
He's the unknown soldier
The holy warrior who will never sound retreat
He's you unseen comrade
And his triumph will be sweet
He's the unknown soldier.
