Two days past eighteen She was waiting for the bus in her army greens Sat down in a booth in a cafe nearby Gave her order to a guy in a thin black tie She's a little shy so he give her a smile And she said would you mind sittin' down for a while And talking to me, I'm feeling a little low He said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go So they went down and they sat on the pier Said I bet you got a girlfriend but I don't care I got no one to send a letter to Would you mind if I sent one back here to you I cried You'll never wanna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone when the letter says A soldier's coming home So the letters came once a week at least From Oklahoma then the MIddle East And she told him of her heart It might be love and all of the things she was so scared of She said when it's getting kinda rough over here I think of that day sittin' down at the pier And I close my eyes and see your handsome smile Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while I cried You'll never wanna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone when the letter says A soldier's coming home One Friday night at a football game The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang A man said folks would you bow your head For the list of the local Army dead Crying all alone under the stands Was the piccolo player in the marching band And one name read and nobody really cried But a single guy in a thin black tie I cried You're never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone when the letter says A soldier's coming I cried You're never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone when the letter says A soldier's coming home

Who am I to say what's right or wrong But who are you to pull the trigger on their enemy Young man joined the front lines to still his stormy soul Now all that's left are the memories of old They all fall down Some won't survive Trying to escape The memory of what they became I tried hard to be proud of my service But, all I could feel was Shame The racism could no longer mask The reality of the occupation These were people These were human beings I feel guilt any time I see a mother with her children Like the one who cried hysterically And screamed that we were worse than Saddam As we forced her from her home I feel guilt any time I see a young girl Like the one I grabbed by the arm And dragged into the street We were told we were fighting terrorists The real terrorist was me And the real terrorism was this occupation Who am I to say what's right or wrong But who are you to pull the trigger on their enemy Young man joined the front lines to still his stormy soul Now all that's left are the memories of war They all fall down Some won't survive Trying to escape the memories of what they became They all fall down Some won't survive Trying to escape the memories of what they became While those weapons are created and owned by this government They are harmless without people willing to use them Those who send us to war Do not have to pull a trigger or lob a mortar round They do not have to fight the war They merely have to sell the war They need a public whose willing to send their soldiers into harms way They need soldiers willing to kill and be killed without question Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen Have nothing to gain from this occupation The vast majority of people living in the U.S. Have nothing to gain from this occupation In fact not only do we have nothing to gain But we suffer more because of it We lose limbs Endure trauma And give our lives Our families have to watch flag draped coffins lowered into the earth

He's five foot-two and he's six feet-four He fights with missiles and with spears He's all of 31 and he's only 17 Been a soldier for a thousand year He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain A Buddhist, and a Baptist, and a Jew And he knows he shouldn't kill And he knows he always will Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you And he's fighting for Canada He's fighting for France He's fighting for the U.S.A 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 them at Labau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone He's the one who gives his body as a 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 His orders come from far away no more They come from here and there and you and me And brothers, can't you see? This is not the way we put the end to war

They didn't have you where I come from Never knew the best was yet to come Life began when I saw your face And I hear your laugh like a serenade How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna to be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up I slip in bed when you're asleep To hold you close and feel your breath on me Tomorrow there'll be so much to do So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up As you wander through this troubled world In search of all things beautiful You can close your eyes when you're miles away And hear my voice like a serenade How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up How long do you wanna be love? Is forever enough, is forever enough How long do you wanna be loved? Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up Is forever enough 'Cause I'm never, never giving you up
