Soldier Of Love
S. Matthewman/Sade Adu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've lost the use of my heart
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It's a wild wild west
I'm doing my best

I'm at the borderline of my faith,
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
In the front line of this battle of mine
But I'm still alive

I'm a soldier of love.
Every day and night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life

I've been torn up inside (oh!)
I've been left behind (oh!)
So I ride
I have the will to survive

In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive

I am love's soldier!

I wait for the sound
(oh oh)

I know that love will come (that love will come)
Turn it all around

I'm a soldier of love (soldier of love)
Every day and night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life

I have lost but I don't doubt
So I ride, I have the will to survive
In the wild wild west,
Trying my hardest
Doing my best
To stay alive

I am love's soldier!

I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around

I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still wait for love to come
Turning all around
Still wiat for love to come
Turning all around
Still wait for love to come
Turning all around
Still wait for love to come
Turning all around
Still wait for love to come
Turning all around

I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier

Still wait for love to come
Turning all around
Still wait for love to come
Turning all around
Still wait for love to come
Turning all around
Still wait for love to come




Turning all around
Still wait for love to come

Soldier of Love was released in the fall of 2010. It's not yet five years old.

@KillerShrimp2012

Cullen Romias A lot of people are. What a silly question. J.S.Bach came out 300 years ago, millions of people are still listening.

Sade has never needed to throw a million dollars show with insane designers costumes, hundreds of dancers, back ups, lights, soecial effects, crazy choreography to make you feel and breathe for hundreds of years. She just shows up and sings. And its way enough. QUEEN SADE 🌟🖤👑
