Kareem Salama-Baby I'm A Soldier |
| [00:23.22] |
He was a soldier who'd only been married 2 or 3 years ago |
| [00:28.34] |
|
| [00:29.15] |
And he put his hands on her knees that night and he said "I gotta go" |
| [00:35.03] |
She said "Why would you leave this home and me? I thought I was your baby girl" |
| [00:41.22] |
|
| [00:41.97] |
And he wiped away the tears from "They're her sending eyes and said me to save the world. |
| [00:47.55] |
And you know I love and I pray to God that He'll join us once again |
| [00:54.25] |
|
| [00:54.87] |
But now it's time for the simple man to be one of few the good men |
| [01:00.22] |
|
| [01:02.03] |
'Cause Baby, I'm a soldier, and I hear those trumpets calling again |
| [01:08.12] |
our And kings and queens are saying this is a fight we must win |
| [01:14.29] |
|
| [01:15.04] |
For truth and justice, and for the way we live our life |
| [01:21.24] |
And Baby, I'm a soldier. In front of God, I swore I would, I would fight" |
| [01:29.85] |
|
| [01:35.22] |
Across the ocean and miles away, there stood another man |
| [01:40.25] |
|
| [01:41.43] |
Eighteen years, huggin' his mama, sayin' "I'll defend this land" |
| [01:46.36] |
|
| [01:47.61] |
Mama held her baby and cried and clutched him, tellin' him not to leave |
| [01:53.38] |
She said "What will I do without my baby boy? Son, I'm beggin' you, please" |
| [01:59.37] |
|
| [02:00.12] |
He said "I love you, Mama, but duty calls. I'll write you everyday" |
| [02:05.72] |
|
| [02:06.53] |
She said "I lost your daddy like this, and I don't wanna lose you this way" |
| [02:12.39] |
|
| [02:14.08] |
"'Cause Mama, I'm a soldier, and I hear those trumpets calling again |
| [02:20.16] |
And our kings and queens are saying this is a fight we must win |
| [02:26.70] |

| [02:32.67] |
|
| [02:33.29] |
And Mama, I'm a soldier. In front of God, I swore I would, I would fight" |
| [02:42.14] |
|
| [02:53.31] |
Well, the battle raged, and shots rang out, and the two men fell to the ground |
| [02:58.67] |
|
| [02:59.61] |
And they look into the eyes of each other, and were at shocked what they found |
| [03:06.91] |

| [03:30.63] |
|
| [03:31.50] |
And the other man saw the crying and screams of beloved other the man's wife |
| [03:36.84] |
|
| [03:37.65] |
And the two men stared across that smoky field and whispered to each other |
| [03:44.00] |
|
| [03:44.69] |
"Maybe you weren't the demon they said. Maybe you were really my brother |
| [03:50.04] |
|
| [03:51.73] |
'Cause ladies, we were soldiers, and we heard those trumpets calling again |
| [03:57.81] |
And tell the kings and queens that sometimes there are fights no one wins |
| [04:04.17] |

| [04:10.75] |
But please be sure that this is one of those times |
| [04:17.24] |
And please be sure to remember my mama and wife |
| [04:23.51] |
And please be sure to think of my brother on the other side" |
| [04:32.35] |
