In the year of 99 - when the big star war started
Lived a guy aged 21 - ev'rybody called him Sunny
Came a letter that told him to go - told hom 'go to the frontline'
This was what he had been waiting for so long
Made him proud and feel so fine:
Listen Ma, listen Dad:
'I'll become a man, yes a real man'-
(He'll become a man, yes a real man)
I will leave, leave you for fighting
And I hope that you wish me well
When I return I will be a hero!
Sunny was the best among them all - killed a lot of people
All the bross wre so proud of him - he got a pretty golden medal
But one day he met another hero - that one kept even cooler
Sunny tumbled down, couldn't believe it - seargant wrote a letter:
Misses Ma, Mister Dad:
Your son became a man, a real man
(He became a man, yea a real man)
Congratulations to your brave son
He's been fightin' so well
He won't return, but he became a hero
