Soldier's Song Songtext
von David Berkeley

Wo oh the weight of man
Come lift me up
Come take my hand
Wo oh the weight of man
All of the lines in the sand
And all that we carry
And all of our cares
Tell me how to prepare
The sooner you′re chosen
The sooner you're damned
So wo oh the ways of man
The dark behind
The brightest plan
Wo oh the ways of man
This is the strength in my hand
This is the strength in my hand
This is all I can hold
I don′t care that you told me
That you think I'm wrong
This is not your song


This is a soldier's song
So try to keep your head down
Try to understand
Wo oh oh the wars of man
And why we fall
And why we stand
Wo oh oh the wars of a man
These are the sounds in the sand
These are the sounds in the sand
This is all I can hear
You try to block the screaming
You cannot block the sky
This is a soldier′s cry
This is a soldier′s cry
And no one wants to hear it
No one wants to hear it
But I'm afraid to die
So wo oh oh the weight of man
Please lift me up
Please hold my hand
Wo oh oh the ways of man
Just leave me here
Just drop my hand
Wo oh oh oh the wars of man
Come break my heart
Just lay me down
Wo oh oh oh the weight of a man
Wo oh oh oh the weight of a man
Wo oh oh oh the weight of a man
Wo oh oh the weight of a man
