Soldier

Words and Music by Rachel Kane

Copyright © 1997 by Rachel Kane

what's it like
fire in the air
day and night
destruction everywhere
must be hard
make it through the day


soldier in the air or
on the ground
must be thinking
could I really be shot down
how did it come to this
will I see tomorrow


and as the day turns to night
hate turns to sorrow


do ya see the little boy
playing in the sand
looks in the air
what could he understand
candles burning
hold him in your arms


big guy tough guy
under the red sky
down deep inside
trying to stay alive
until tomorrow


cause when the day turns to night
hate turns to sorrow


ee ay o, my laddy lie easy
it's my misfortune and some
of your own
that he leaves me rocking the cradle alone.


around the world
people wonder
when does it stop
the lightning and thunder
getting hard
make it through the day


harder to think, harder still to pray


ee ay o, my laddy lie easy
ee ay o, my laddy lie easy
