Lucky Dube - Soldier

Stand for the truth you stand alone
(Stand for the truth you stand alone)
Government will cover up
(Government will cover up)

I saw a man sitting in a room
Holding a gun to his head
He said: "Man oh man, what am I gonna do?"
I can't change the past, but I can change the future
If I pull this trigger right now, right here
Everything will be over
Not a day goes by, I don't see them in my dreams
Not a day goes by, I don't hear them screaming in my ears
Begging for mercy, pleading innocent
Since my heart is made up to be as cold
As the barrel of this gun I hold
I would pull the trigger anyway

I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general

(..)

Stand for the truth you stand alone
(Stand for the truth you stand alone)
Government will cover up
(Government will cover up)
Stand for the truth you stand alone

So many medals, so many praises
Nothing can take away the guilt
That I feel inside me, government covered up
Every crime we committed against human kind
Not a day goes by, I don't see them in my dreams
Not a day goes by, I don't hear them crying in my ears

I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general
I was a soldier, following instructions
From a man we have known as the general

Stand for the truth you stand alone
(Stand for the truth you stand alone)
Government will cover up
(Government will cover up)

Stand for the truth you stand alone
(Stand for the truth you stand alone)
Government will cover up
(Government will cover up)

Stand for the truth you stand alone
(Stand for the truth you stand alone)
Government will cover up
(Government will cover up)
