Teena Marie - Soldier Boy Lyrics
(feat. Shirley Murdock)Soldiers...I'm sending this one out to all the men and women overseas...Soldiers...In hopes that you come home to your families...SOldiersGive your love just for a lifetimeFaith is just at the right timeHope here in the night timeDaylight brings the sunshineComfort when you needed itTriviality trust try chance believed itSend you sweet things through the front doorGive you all of this and much moreSoldier boy sleep there with the angelsSoldier boy keep you safe from dangerSoldier boy we will always be togetherI love you, but God he loves you betterSo much war and povertyWished that you could rest your head on meTo kiss each others' tears awayKeep all your fears at bayHome as soon as possibleRemind you of the golden ruleSee your son and daughter's eyesIn them I keep hope aliveSoldier girl sleep there with the angelsSoldier girl keep you safe from dangerSoldier girl we will always be togetherI love you, but God he loves you betterOpen up your heart you'll find it's heaven sentAnd all your thoughts become so pure so relevantExceptions in your mind you'll find immaculateAnd all you winter is no longer; test for testOur Father, who art in heaven,Hallowed be thy Name.Thy kingdom come.Thy will be done,On earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,As we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation,But deliver us from evil.I look around the world and all I see is so much pain and turmoilGot to teach your kids not to waste and destroy the earth's soilSend our children off to war and watch them die for crude oilFind a positive of what is blue or we are foiledIf I had one wish right now, I'd wish I could hold youRemind you of the sweet things your mama told youWrap my arms around you until this has been brought to closureRead my letters back to back; you'll always be my soldierYou can count on me to understand; in my milk and honey landThings are really not that bad; joyous tidings don't be sadI'll be waiting right here for you; I am well and I adore youUnconditional my love; higher than the stars aboveSoldier boy sleep there with the angelsSoldier boy keep you safe from dangerSoldier boy we will always be togetherI love you, but God he loves you better
