Soldier - Headspace

When I return, I’ll be a soldier

I’m simply living in this army holding

There’s nothing to fear, except the war I hear

And civilians in their combat clothing

But there is no answer when you ask where it’s all leading

There must be something we can say or do

Who can belong inside an army town

When we’re all fighting to get out of here?

When I return and I’m much older

I… I often wonder, will the… the war be over?

And how will I feel that I was sent to kill

With decisions I have no control of?

There is no answer when you ask where it’s all leading

There must be something we can say or do

Who can belong inside an army town

When we’re all fighting to get out of here?

Out of here

When I return and it’s all over

I… I hope you’ll carry me upon your shoulder

And walk up the hill beneath the cannon

And lay my body down with… with my companions

There is no answer when you ask where it’s all leading

There must be something we can say or do

Who can belong inside an army town

When we’re all fighting to get out of here?

Out of here
