Lucky Dube – Soldier lyrics

Pre verse
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up

verse 1
I saw a man sitting in a room holding a gun to his head
He said man o man what am i gonna do
I can't change the past but I can change the future
If I pull this triger 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 them screaming in my ears
begging for mercy pleading innocent
Since my heart is made up to be as cold
As the bearing of this gun I hold
I'll pull a trigger any day

chorus
I was a soldier, following instruction from a man
We known as a general

Pre verse
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up

verse 2
So many murder so many bruises
Nothing can take away the pain that I feel inside
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 screaming in my ears

chorus

Pre verse
Stand for the truth you stand alone
Government will cover up (till fade)
