Soldier Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Government will cover up 

Government will cover up 

 

I saw a man sitting in a room holding a gun to his head 

He said, "Man oh man what am I gonna do 

I can't change the past but I can change the future 

If I pull this trigger right now right here everything will be over" 

 

Not a day goes by I don't see them in my dreams 

Not a day goes by I don't hear them screaming in my ears 

Begging for mercy pleading innocent 

Since my heart is made up to be as cold 

As the bearing of this gun I hold I'll pull a trigger any day 

 

I was a soldier, following instructions 

From a man we have known as the general 

I was a soldier, following instructions 

From a man we have known as the general 

I was a soldier, following instructions 

From a man we have known as the general 

 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Government will cover up 

Government will cover up 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

 

So many medals so many praises 

Nothing can take away the guilt that I feel inside of me 

Government covered up every crime we committed against humankind 

Not a day goes by I don't see them in my dreams 

Not a day goes by I don't hear them crying in my ears 

 

I was a soldier, following instructions 

From a man we have known as the general 

I was a soldier, following instructions 

From a man we have known as the general 

I was a soldier, following instructions 

From a man we have known as the general 

 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Government will cover up 

Government will cover up 

 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Government will cover up 

Government will cover up 

 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Stand for the truth you stand alone 

Government will cover up 

Government will cover up
