Maverick Sabre - Why lyrics

Didn't want to be a soldier But I had to change Didn't want to be a fighter But there's no other way All of this confusion and destruction Done in my name Little child don't cry Cause we're struggling for when you come of age Now am I living hopeless? No one sees my face On the fiction's what we're choking Feeling it's just all too late All of the kings we've seen are long gone It's true when they say the good die young Where are all the warriors that were once strong? They're just blowing in the wind Why every time I rise within All I seem to be is weaker And every time my light goes dim I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper Why every time I rise within All I seem to be is weaker And every time my light goes dim I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper Mama don't you cry for me I'll be gone for a while And I know this ain't the vision That you had for your child Think about the children depending on me They need someone to fight So many soldiers should be fighting but they are lost in the night Just a soul and a dream gone pon in the battlefield Mama start worry and fret Over her son ago dweet wid just a sword and a shield Fi go step in Babylon's face I have so much hate for my enemy My enemy is the man that I've never seen But this hatred that I'm carrying Taking so much of my energy Why every time I rise within All I seem to be is weaker And every time my light goes dim I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper Why every time I rise within All I seem to be is weaker And every time my light goes dim I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper Our strength is deep inside within Misled thinking the opposite And our history's replayed again Uneducated, been so degraded And this ain't how we're supposed to live There's nothing here but want and fear When my light is low and I don't know All I can do is try And ask myself Why every time I rise within All I seem to be is weaker And every time my light goes dim I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper Why every time I rise within All I seem to be is weaker And every time my light goes dim I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper
