Over There Lyrics - Level 42

I'm a soldier of fortune 

I've come to save the day 

There's a country that's needs me 

And an enemy to slay 

All my friends are in uniform 

God is on our side 

But I'm leaving my baby back home 

As we head for the ocean 

Our spirits are high 

"to battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die!" 

Looking back at the shoreline 

Ringing in my ears 

Are the words of my baby back home

Where are you going to so far away 

Your dreams of glory will soon fade away 

We are so young, so much in love 

Your country needs you but I need you more 

So far away 

Over there 

Out on the frontline the story has changed 

For the glory of battle is the myth on printed page 

As my friends fall around me 

I wonder when I die 

Will they carry my body back home 

What are you searching for so far away 

Your dreams of glory will soon fade away 

We are so young, so much in love 

I'm so afraid I won't see you again 

Your country needs you but I need you more 

So far away 

Over there 

So far away 

Over there 

Where are you going to so far away 

Your dreams of glory will soon fade away 

So many lives wasted away 

So many die again and again 

Some people say that the knights are all gone 

Some people say that the dragons are dead 

But the dragon lives on 

As the spectre of war 

And the killing and slaying goes on as before 

Will it ever end 

Oh ... will it ever end 

Will it ever end ...?
