Universal Soldier Lyrics - Up Where We Belong - Buffy Sainte-marie

He's five feet two and he's six feet four 

He fights with missiles and with spears 

He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen 

He's been a soldier for a thousand years 

He's a catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jane 

A Buddhist and a Baptist and Jew 

And he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will kill 

You'll for me my friend and me for you 

And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France 

He's fighting for the USA 

And he's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan 

And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

And he's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the reds 

He says it's for the peace of all 

He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die 

And he never sees the writing on the wall 

But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Le Val 

Without him Caesar would have stood alone 

He's the one who gives his body as the weapon of the war 

And without him all this killing can't go on

He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame 

But his orders come from far away no more 

They come from him and you and me and brothers can't you see 

This is not the way we put an end to war?
