The Webb Sisters - Fortune Of Soldiers lyrics

Was the fortune of soldiers to be always at war Sighting down the barrel at whatever comes? Till the fighters forgot what they're doing it for And the reason was lost in the sound of the drums Was the fortune of soldiers to be always alone Forgetting the faces of all their loved ones? Far from their daydreams, far from their homes Love songs were drowned in the sound of the drums Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know by now the dream has come true? When they say that peace could never be That it's a fantasy they didn't know about you Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know the dream has come true? When they say that peace could never be They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do It is the fortune of bankers and builders of arms To worship the profit however it comes Up in their towers, sheltered from harm Far from the smoke and the sound of the guns It is the fortune of dreamers to see what they see To live with the scorn till the miracle comes To teach us the music and show us the key And the chorus to silence the sound of the drums Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know the dream has come true? When they say that peace could never be That it's a fantasy they didn't know about you Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know the dream has come true? When they say that peace could never be They weren't imagining what one dreamer can do It is the fortune of children to have such a choice To grow up to be dreamers or builders of guns Born to be angels, born to rejoice Not to grow up to the sound of the drums Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know the dream has come true? When they say that peace could never be That it's a fantasy they didn't know about you Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know by now the dream has come true? When they say that peace could never be That it's a fantasy
