| We were hiding out |
| Staying out of sight |
| I couldn’t get through to you |
| All the lines we dealt |
| And I couldn’t recall |
| There was nothing I could do Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t want to be here |
| Just watching the bullets fly |
| You know it’s strong |
| But I’m afraid I’m in deep here |
| Do I desert or do I stay here and die? |
| I am a soldier, and soldiers cry |
| I am a soldier, and soldiers cry |
| Oh they cry |
| I didn’t want to come |
| It wasn’t my idea |
| I don’t even understand |
| Why I’m here at all |
| Or what the reasons are |
| I just take my command |
| God knows I’ve tried |
| But I can’t comprehend |
| The reasons for why we’re here |
| I’ve almost died trying hard to defend |
| a cause that’s never really been too clear |
| I am a soldier, and soldiers cry |
| I am a soldier, and I’m asking why |
| I am a soldier, I’m a soldier and soldiers cry |
| I am a soldier, and soldiers cry |
| Oh they cry |
| I am a soldier, and soldiers cry |
| I am a soldier, and I’m asking why |
| I am a soldier, and I don’t wanna die |
| I am a soldier, cry cry cry cry cry cry |
| I am a soldier, and I’m a soldier and soldiers cry |
| I am a soldier, and I don’t wanna die |
