Lonely Soldier

Lonely Soldier - Gregory Isaacs

I'm a lonely soldier many miles from home

With a heart that's heavy and with a will that's wrong

Behind I left a woman so so dear to me yeah

Now I'm off to fight a war that they say would make me free

I'm a lonely soldier I'm a lonely soldier

I'm a lonely lonely lonely lonely soldier (yes I am)

So won't somebody have mercy on me

Nice little son call junior smiling but with sympathy yeah

All confused he asked a question

He said daddy why must this war be

I tried so very hard yes I did so very hard

I tried to explain yeah

But it seems that all I ever been trying

Lord it all seems to be in vain

You know lord I'm tired of hearing people crying

Lord I'm tired of seeing people dying

But I promise I wait very patiently

For that sweet voice of liberty

And no yeah

I'm tired of seeing people dying
