Extended metaphor


He runs into the danger
Rather then running away from it
He never thinks of own safety 
Because he is a soldier 

He protects his country
Like a mother around her child
He always thinks of the people
Who have many years to live

He is doing them a service 
One that can't be thanked
Because he fights in the shadows
And he's considered just another target

Courage has to be earned
You can't get it by being scared
You have work for that right
But the work is what's feared.

Courage isn't just facing your fears
It's risking your life
To prevent innocent blood and tears
To be a real man with courage
You have to sacrifice your safety
But it's all worth it to you
When your family is at home safely.
