Soldier Lyrics - 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...Soldiers 

Give your love just for a lifetime 

Faith is just at the right time 

Hope here in the night time 

Daylight brings the sunshine 

Comfort when you needed it 

Triviality trust try chance believed it 

Send you sweet things through the front door 

Give you all of this and much more 

Soldier boy sleep there with the angels 

Soldier boy keep you safe from danger 

Soldier boy we will always be together 

I love you, but God he loves you better 

So much war and poverty 

Wished that you could rest your head on me 

To kiss each others' tears away 

Keep all your fears at bay 

Home as soon as possible 

Remind you of the golden rule 

See your son and daughter's eyes 

In them I keep hope alive 

Soldier girl sleep there with the angels 

Soldier girl keep you safe from danger 

Soldier girl we will always be together 

I love you, but God he loves you better 

Open up your heart you'll find it's heaven sent 

And all your thoughts become so pure so relevant 

Exceptions in your mind you'll find immaculate 

And all you winter is no longer; test for test 

Our 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 turmoil 

Got to teach your kids not to waste and destroy the earth's soil 

Send our children off to war and watch them die for crude oil 

Find a positive of what is blue or we are foiled 

If I had one wish right now, I'd wish I could hold you 

Remind you of the sweet things your mama told you 

Wrap my arms around you until this has been brought to closure 

Read my letters back to back; you'll always be my soldier 

You can count on me to understand; in my milk and honey land 

Things are really not that bad; joyous tidings don't be sad 

I'll be waiting right here for you; I am well and I adore you 

Unconditional my love; higher than the stars above 

Soldier boy sleep there with the angels 

Soldier boy keep you safe from danger 

Soldier boy we will always be together 

I love you, but God he loves you better
