Gregory Isaacs - Lonely soldier lyrics

I'm a lonely soldier, many miles from home With a heart that's heavy, and with a will that's strong Behind, i left a woman, so, so dear to me Now i'm off to fight a war that they say would make me free I'm a lonely soldier, i'm a lonely soldier I'm a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely soldier (yes, i am) So won't somebody have mercy on me Nice little son call junior, smiling but with sympathy All confused he asked a question, he said, "daddy, why must this war be?" I tried so very hard, yes i did, so very hard i tried to explain. yeah! But it seems that all i ever been trying, lord, it all seems to be in vain You know lord, i'm tired of hearing people crying Lord, i'm tired of seeing people dying But i promise i wait very patiently For that sweet voice of liberty An non. yeah! I'm tired of seeing people dying...
