Soldier's Lament Lyrics

He fight and he pray

He love and he bleed

To no satisfaction, was note as, indeed

And when he walks, stands tall as he can

For he's a man, yeah he's a man

And when he crumbles, resolve to the ground

Like burnt bits of paper, life flutters round

All eyes turn away, no one wants to see

A man who has lost, in the fight to be free

For we've been out runnin' for all of our lives

No chance, and stop, and we'd surely lose sight

In the back of his mind is a smiling face

The one who said, "Yah know, it's no race"

The one that said, "You got time to breathe"

Cuz' child you're born, we're all born freeSonya Kitchell - Soldier's Lament - http://motolyrics.com/sonya-kitchell/soldiers-lament-lyrics.html

In the back of he mind is the back of a room

So dust enshrouded, and no dust broom

Stands a chance to clear the cobwebs away

So live in the back, in the dark it'll stay

And we've been out runnin' for all of our lives

No chance, and stop, and we'd surely lose sight

Tell me somethin'

What are yah livin' for?

Tell me boy

What are you livin' for?

Tell me somethin'

What are yah livin' for?

Tell me, tell me

What are you livin' for?
