Heart's a Soldier Songtext
von Joseph Arthur & The Lonely Astronauts

You can′t get to Brooklyn
Riding on the uptown train
You're gonna be a crook
Until you stop dealing in cocaine
Still you provide for your family
Any way that you still can
And you remember when they told you
You would always be the man

The way we prey
On each other, on each other

Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me


You know the times are tougher,
Tougher than they′ve ever been before
Because the streets are rougher,
Rougher than the bedroom door
You try to change the weather
Even though you know it's a mistake
Because the heart's a soldier,
Even though you know it′s gonna break

The way we prey
On each other, on each other

Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me

It′s a real tough life
When you're searching for ecstasy
Go on, show a little faith in me

Sometimes the path to freedom
Is the one that no one else believes
Sometimes to rise above them
You have to get down on you knees

Try to pray
For each other, for each other

Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me

It′s a real tough life
When you're searching for ecstasy
So go on, show a little faith in me
