Summer Soldier

INTRO: (x3) verse 1 I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonors For the people that he's maimed and left alone The Lord God said, "Love thy neighbor Though in human life he trades, he's still a man verse 2 I feel sorry for the children who with open minds are willing To fight for ideals aging past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds The Lord God said, "Love thy neighbor Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend Call him a friend, call him a friend SOLO 1 BRIDGE Wake up, wake up, there's a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you're one and the same It's time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war It's for sure there's no one in between Politicians point views But they're pointing for you The solution has to be seen Has to be seen, has to be seen SOLO 2 SOLO 3 verse 3 I thought I saw a summer soldier Helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched Beneath his armour-plated shroud "I fire in hate" , he cried aloud "To protect myself from defeat My shield's my cause, my cause is war And from war I'll make no retreat SOLO 4 verse 4 I dreamt, I saw an angel bright A halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath Beneath his silver shroud "I cry thee not" , he cried aloud "Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield's my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat SOLO 4 Repeat and Fade Out.........
