Soldier's Daughter
Greetings, good stranger, why should you die
For a country sitting on a lie?
Pull my conscience from my hindsight
I have learned from the soldier's plight
No ideal is worth a bullet fight
I heard this from my neighbor who sleeps with a knife
He once had a daughter, she was about your size
I heard she went went war, and when shot, saw the light
Greetings, good stranger, I've seen the light as well
It shines through my country and, so I feel compelled
To hold my conscience to what the Bible tells
And all I know is I don't want to go to Hell
And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt
I learned this from my father who lived and who fell
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt
He died in the war and no remorse was felt
Greetings, good stranger, you seem very kind
But I have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This I can be sure of, I hope you'll see the light
Greetings, good stranger, you seem very kind
But I have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This I can be sure of, I hope you'll see the light
For a country sitting on a lie?
Pull my conscience from my hindsight
I have learned from the soldier's plight
No ideal is worth a bullet fight
I heard this from my neighbor who sleeps with a knife
He once had a daughter, she was about your size
I heard she went went war, and when shot, saw the light
Greetings, good stranger, I've seen the light as well
It shines through my country and, so I feel compelled
To hold my conscience to what the Bible tells
And all I know is I don't want to go to Hell
And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt
I learned this from my father who lived and who fell
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt
He died in the war and no remorse was felt
Greetings, good stranger, you seem very kind
But I have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This I can be sure of, I hope you'll see the light
Greetings, good stranger, you seem very kind
But I have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This I can be sure of, I hope you'll see the light
