Soldier Lyrics

Take me home to mama

So I can see her face

Take me home to mama

Away from this horrid place

Take me home to see her

So I can show her it's true

Let me show mama

That I was one of the few

I've been down the dirty river

I've seen the train of tears

Now I'm old and worn beyond my years

The well has run to dry

Can't remember how to

Cry...Cry...Cry away

I'm afraid when I see mama

She will see I've died

I'm afaid when I see mama

The tears of joy will hide

For I know when I look into her eyes

She will see what I've become

A shell of a man

That's fit to be undone

So here I stand before you

Dressed in a shroud of stars

Beneath it all lies the battle scars

And all the prayers to heaven

Took issue with my fate

It should've been me there waiting at the gates...

To sit and wonder why

Can't remember how to cry

Cry...cry...cry away

Take me home to mama

So I can see her face

In the loving arms of mama

The only sacred place

Left for me
