We were hiding out Staying out of sight I couldn't get through to you All the lines we dealt And I couldn't recall There was nothing I could do Maybe I'm wrong but I don't want to be here Just watching the bullets fly You know it's strong But I'm afraid I'm in deep here 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 want to come It wasn't my idea I 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've almost died trying hard to defend A cause that'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, I'm a soldier and soldiers cry I am a soldier, and soldiers cry Oh they cry I am a soldier, and soldiers cry I am a soldier, and I'm asking why I am a soldier, and I don't wanna die I am a soldier, cry cry cry cry cry cry I am a soldier, and I'm a soldier and soldiers cry I am a soldier, and I don't wanna die
