Tekst piosenki:
He was a soldier who'd only been married
two or three years ago,
And he put his hands on her knees that night
and he said I gotta' go.
She said why would you leave this home and me,
I thought I was your baby-girl,
And he wiped away the tears from her eyes and said
they're sending me to save the world.
And you know I love you and I pray to God
that he'll join us once again,
But now it's time for this simple man
to be one of the few good men.
Cause baby I'm a soldier
And I hear those trumpets calling again
And our kings and queens
Are saying this is a fight we must win
For truth and justice
And for the way we live our life
And baby I'm a soldier
In fornt of God I swore I would fight
Across the ocean and miles away,
there stood another man.
Eighteen years, hugging his mama,
saying I'll defend this land.
Mama held her baby and cried and clutched him,
telling him not to leave.
She said what will I do without my baby-boy,
son I'm begging you please,
He said I love you mama but duty calls,
I'll write to you everyday.
She said I lost your daddy like this
and I don't wanna' lose you this way.
Cause mama I'm a soldier
And I hear those trumpets calling again
And our kings and queens
Are saying this is a fight we must win
For truth and justice
And for the way we live our life
And mama I'm a soldier
In fornt of God I swore I would fight
Well the battle raged and shots rang out
and the two men fell to the ground,
And they looked into the eyes of each other
and were shocked at what they found.
One man saw the mother of the other
in that young man's eyes.
And the other man saw the crying and screams
of the other man's beloved wife.
And the two men stared across that smoky field
and whispered to each other.
Maybe you weren't the demon they said,
Maybe you were really my brother.
But I'm glad we're passing cause I don't think
that I could forgive myself
For fighting you, but maybe God will
and we can live together in bliss.
Cause ladies we were soldiers,
and we heard those trumpets calling again.
And tell the kings and queens
that sometimes there are fights no one wins.
But we know for sure
that there's evil out there we must fight.
But please be sure
that this is one of those times.
Ans please be sure
to remember my mama and wife.
And please be sure
to think of my brother on the other side.
