Lucky Dube - Soldier lyrics

Soldier Stand for the truth you stand alone Government will cover up I saw a man sitting in a room Holding a gun to his head He said man, oh man What am I gonna do I can't change the past but I can change the future If I pull this trigger right now, right here Everything will be over Not a day goes by I don't see them in my dreams Not a day goes by I don't hear them screaming in my ears Begging for mercy, pleading innocent Since my heart is made up to be as cold As the barrel of this gun I hold I would pull the trigger anyway Chorus I was a soldier, following instructions from a man We have known as the general So many medals, so many praises Nothing can take away the guilt That I feel inside me Government covered up every crime we committed Against human kind Not a day goes by, I don't see them in my dreams Not a day goes by, I don't hear them crying in my ears
