| In every story that you meet
|
| Lies a happy ever after
|
| You see it on the people that you greet
|
| If you stop them for a while
|
| Say what am I gonna do
|
| If I’m leaving in a fight with you
|
| And how am I gonna fight
|
| You always bring me water
|
| and I need your water by my side
|
| Soldier, this is your life
|
| And you cant run
|
| And you cant hide
|
| In the town
|
| And out in the pouring rain
|
| With an aching in your side
|
| And my future is down memory lane
|
| Cause the present is much to hard
|
| Soldier, this is your life
|
| (end chorus)
|
| Across the sand dunes
|
| In a room
|
| There are soldiers on the phone
|
| They’re calling all the people that they love
|
| Cause they cant wait to come home
|
| Say who are you gonna be
|
| If you’re always waiting there for me
|
| And when will I be free
|
| You say you carried my daughter
|
| And I need my daughter next to me
|
| Soldier, this is your life
|
| And you can’t run
|
| And you cant hide
|
| In the town
|
| And out in the pouring rain
|
| With an aching in your side
|
| And my future is down memory lane
|
| Cause the present is much to hard
|
| Soldier, this is your life
|
| (end chorus)
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Sitting round the fire at midnight
|
| Calling all my family on my cell
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Hearing all the sounds across the world
|
| Sitting in this final hell
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| And I wonder if I’ll ever get out of here
|
| Only gods time will tell
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Say what am I gonna do
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Say what am I gonna do
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Say what am I gonna do
|
| Sail home, get back in my home clothes
|
| Soldier, this is your life. |
