Song - Soldier We Love You
I read that you took a stand
And refused to kill in Vietnam.
You said no man was your enemy
If what he's fighting for is to be free.
Ghetto streets lead nowhere
and ghetto cries fill the air.
Uncle Sam's in Nam to loot and rob
And people starve at home cause there's no jobs.
Oh ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
Soldier we love you
Yeah soldier we love you
Standing strong 'Cause it's hard to do
What you know you must do cause it's true,
Yes it's true.
They locked you up in their stockades
Yeah, they locked you up 'cause they're afraid
That you would rap and spread the word
But you can't jail truth it will be heard.
Oh, ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
But soldier we love you
Yeah brave soldier we love you
Standing strong
Yes it's hard to do
What you know you must do cause it's true,
Yes it's true.
And soon there will be others too
Who refuse to fight and stand with you
Yes they'll raise their fists high in the air
and say we're not going anywhere
oh ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
to smile sometimes
But soldier we love you
Brave soldier we love you
Standing strong
Yes it's hard to do
What you know you must do cause it's true,
Yes it's true
We love you
