Soldiers Story

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'll be there for you

Oh baby, I'll be there

No matter how far away, ooh

I'll be there

Eye's wide to ceiling

Suddenly I awake from day dreaming

Find myself overwhelmed by this feeling,

Tried to kneel in, search for spiritual healing, yo

Now when they look for where you come from

No money, no future, no function

Everywhere that I look another last one, with a mask on

Every youth is a man's man, yo

I give a kiss to my girlfriend

Now I got to do right by the same thing

'Cause of her that they need a few good men

Dry your tears friend

I'll be back just don't know when

If you wait for me, just you wait and see

I'll be there, I'll be there

And if you pray for me, darling wait and see

I'll be there, I'll be there

I found a perfect opportunity

Don't you think I came to this decision easily

Every day away from you is an eternity

Wish that I could be there to witness your maternity, yo

I didn't plan on staying so long

Through the fear I need to stay strong

Through the left and the right we hear the same song

Hope I ain't drunk

Tryin' to get my paper chase on, yo

At times I find myself in danger

In the process I became a stranger

Now I find that I'm living in the age of, something major

And my life is what they wage ya, yeh

If you wait for me, just you wait and see

I'll be there, I'll be there

And if you pray for me, darling wait and see

I'll be there, I'll be there

From awakin' in my car I can feel it, best believe it

Every day I try to find a way to leave it

There's so much on my plate now to deal with

Young minds on this place will find a way to relieve it

Now the souls are the victims of surroundings

What we do to survive is just astounding

Parlé shamed by the circumstance fo founding get to crowning

Ain't no other opportunities

If you wait for me, just you wait and see

I'll be there, I'll be there

And if you pray for me, darling wait and see

I'll be there, I'll be there
