Kris Kristofferson - What About Me lyrics

I seen another soldier who got wasted in the war He said he left his soul there overseas The notion he defended doesn't matter anymore And circumstance had brought him to his knees We sat there in the silence of a cold and empty room Down the hall I heard a baby cry He looked up from the potion he was cooking in a spoon And nailed me with the anger in his eye Chorus: He said, do you really believe in freedom ? I said, I do He said, oh, what about me ? They k**ed both of her parents in an undercover war For wanting all their children to be free She said, it's even sadder that it's in el salvador They named it for the savior don't you see Suddenly the truth was like a blinding flash of light Holy thunder rolled across the sky I stared into the wonder of the warrior jesus christ And destiny was burning in his eyes. Chorus: He said, do you really believe in freedom ? I said, I do He said, oh, what about me ? And the sandinista said, do you really believe in freedom ? I said, I do He said, oh, what about me ?
