Soldiers Cry

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
