LONELY SOLDIER
I`M JUST A LONELY SOLDIER
WAITING TO GO HOME AGAIN
I HAVE DONE MY JOB
 OVER AND OVER MY FRIEND.
NOW I FINALLY WANT TO
 WASH THIS BLOOD OFF MY HANDS
AND I DON`T NEED A PARADE
OR LOUD BANDS
JUST A KISS FROM MY WIFE
AND A HUG FROM MY LITTLE GIRL
THE ONLY TWO THINGS
 THAT MATTER IN MY LIFE.
NOW I`LL PROUDLY PUT MY RIFLE DOWN
AND START WALKING
 THROUGH THESE FEILDS
BUT FIRST LET ME DIP INTO THIS STREAM
SO I CAN WASH THESE SINS OFF MY BODY
ALONG WITH THERE BLOOD TOO
AND BEGIN TO DREAM THE WAY I DID BEFORE
BEFORE THEY FLEW ME OUT HERE
TO THIS FOREIGN LAND
TO GO AND KILL THE ENEMY MAN.
NOW EXCUSE ME IF I DON`T SEEM PROUD
BUT FOR CRYING OUT
LOUD KILLING IS NO JOY
SO JUST SHOW ME THE WAY
AND I`LL START WALKING TODAY
CAUSE I KILL ENOUGH FOR A LIFE TIME
THAT WILL ALWAYS HAUNT MY MIND
AND THIS LIFE ISN`T FOR ME NO MORE
I NEED TO BE WITH MY CHILD AND MY WIFE
SO I`M PUTTING DOWN MY RIFLE
AND STARTING BACK TO MY LIFE
THAT I BEEN WANTING TO DO
CAUSE IN THIS LONG
BLOODY WAR NOBODY WINS
SO PLEASE MY BLOOD BROTHERS
 SHOW ME THE WAY
AND I`LL START WALKING TODAY.
