The Soldier Lyrics

Just a young boy

Painting pictures

He cannot imagine

Battlefields of the earth

And as he grows older

Tasked the burden of a father

When will the people learn

To love one another?

And he's running

To the mountain tops of his soul

And he's flying higher

On the wings of eagles

And as the soldier goes

Down this cold and empty road

Running from the motherland

Where the truth be told

And as he weighs his options

Fighting for paradise

When will the soldier

Pay his sacrifice?

And he's still running

So his spirit will never die

And he's flying higher

On the blood of the night

And I care

And I care

And I care, care, care

Why do men make weapons with their hands?

For money

For power

For the land

When did this world become so cold?

And as the old man

Draws his last breath

He now forever held

In his sudden death
