The Soldier

I haven't slept for five years,
Wiping the dirt from my eyes,
Haven't seen my own face,
But they say: You look tired!
I'm so tired,
I can no longer stand,
Beaten by the boots of my brothering!
Yo, yo, yo, yo! captain screams.
I'm out of the stream!
I'm so scared!
But I'm not quite yet buried.
Instead of medals
I'm wearing scars!
Tell me, Momma,
Has it come too far?

I'm a premature child of the war!
Momma, won't you please heal my wounds now?
Forgotten by God!
Ya Soldat!
Tell me, Momma, why it hurts so hard?
Woh woh woh woh woh woh woh
The War will be over!

And I see there is no bullet left!
No more enemies
And no more heroes!
The war will be over, Soldat!
And the vengeance of war
Disappearing now!

Woh woh woh woh woh woh woh
The War will be over!

I'm a soldier!

I'm a soldier!

I'm soul Jah,
Soul Jah, Jah!
