We were hiding,
staying out of sight
I couldn't get through to you
All the lines were down and I couldn't call
There was nothing I could do
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't wanna be
here Just watching the bullets fly
You know I'm strong but afraid I'm in deep fear
Do I desert or do I stay here and die?
I am a soldier
And soldiers cry
I am a soldier And soldiers cry
Oh they cry I didn't wanna come
It wasn't my idea Don't even understand
Why I'm here at all Or what the reasons are
I just take my command God knows I've tried but I can't comprehend
The reasons for why we're here I'm almost dead trying hard to defend
It's never really been too clear I am a soldier And soldiers cry
I am a soldier
And I'm asking why I am a soldier
And soldiers cry I am a soldier
And soldiers cry Oh they cry
