David Berkeley - Soldier's Song lyrics

Wo oh the weight of man* Come lift me up Come take my hand Wo oh the weight of man All of the lines in the sand And all that we carry And all of our cares Tell me how to prepare Tell me how to prepare For who here is chosen Is he who is damned Wo oh the ways of man The dark behind The brightest plan Wo oh the ways of man This is the strength in my hand This is the strength of my hand This is all I can hold I don't care that you told me That you think I'm wrong This is not your song This is a soldier's song So try to keep your head down Try to understand Wo oh the wars of man And why we fall And why we stand Wo oh the wars of man These are the sounds in the sand These are the sounds in the sand This is all I can hear You try to block the screaming You cannot block the sky This is a soldier's cry This is a soldier's cry And no one wants to hear it No one wants to hear it But I'm afraid to die Wo oh the weight of man Please lift me up Please hold my hand Wo oh the ways of man Just leave me here Just drop my had Wo oh the wars of man Come break my heart Just lay me down Wo oh the weight of a man Wo oh the weight of a man Wo oh the weight of a man Wo oh the weight of a man
