Soldier
J. Gray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I memorize I walk in line.
I carry my sacrifice.
For the sake of the millions.
All night you be the light on the water.
You be the pride and the sorrow.
Shower your love to me there.

Summer dies before the rain.
Unify every soul together be lonely.
Ride on follow me to the sunrise.
Save me the world that is broken.
Nothing but love to be there.

[Chorus:]
Soldiers, father and son are soldiers
Nowhere to run we fight ore we die.
For what are we living for, boys never cry.
Soldiers mother and child are soldiers
The meek and the mild we stand ore we fall.

Never mind, dry your eyes you never be far away.
Forever beside me hold out I will be your tomorrow.
I will walk trough the fire ,nothing but love to be there.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm a little misunderstood
Living all the daydreams and nightmares don't do me no good.
I'm a little bit on the moon
But when the world is, you love me.
No moment is to soon.

(release)
All night you be the light on the water.
You be the pride and the sorrow.
Shower your love to me there





[Chorus: x2]
