Текст (слова) песни: The Barclay James Harvest - Summer Soldier
I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger I feel sorry for his wife and child at home I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonours For the people that he`s maimed and left alone The Lord God said love thy neighbour Though in human life he trades, he`s still a man I feel sorry for the children who with open mind are willing To fight for ideals aged and past their time I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle Of instinct fear bred from their parents` minds The Lord God said love thy neighbour Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend
Wake up, wake up, there`s a man by your side With a knife and a gun in each hand Wake up, wake up, you`re one and the same It`s time to stop and decide Is it love or hate? Is it peace or war? It`s for sure there`s no inbetween Politicians point views But they`re pointing for you The solution has to be seen
I thought I saw a summer soldier, helmet on his brow His silver rifle clutched beneath his armour-plated shroud I fire in hate, he cried aloud To protect myself from defeat My shield`s my cause, my cause is war And from war I`ll make no retreat
I dreamt I saw an angel bright, a halo on his brow His golden sword lay in its sheath beneath his silver shroud I drwa thee not, he cried aloud Though your deeds like spears strike my soul My shield`s my love, my cause is peace Faith be sure I shall not retreat
