Soldier - Lucky Dube

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

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
