A Soldier'S Heart - Lyrics - R. Kelly

Title: A Soldier'S Heart
Artist: R. Kelly
Composer(s): Robert Kelly

Lyric:
All hope was gone
Hard to hang on
Hard to be strong
Was blind, could not see
Nothing but walls in front of me
And inside no peace

And the mountains seemed
Impossible to climb until

You stood on the front lines
You led the way out of the darkness
We didn't go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart

Oceans so deep
Uphill so steep
But still we believe
And when the road was too far to travel
Heroes you came and carried us there

And the mountains seemed
Impossible to climb until

You stood on the front lines
You led the way out of the darkness
We didn't go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart

And so our flag was still there
All because you decided to care

You stood on the front lines
You led the way out of the darkness
We didn't go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart

You stood on the front lines
You led the way out of the darkness
We didn't go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart

You stood on the front lines
You led the way, out of the darkness
You could have let us go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart
And that takes a soldier's heart

Done With Bonaparte - Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

Title: Done With Bonaparte
Artist: Mark Knopfler
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
We've paid in hell since Moscow burned
As cossacks tear us piece by piece
Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues
Though death would be a sweet release

And our grand army is dressed in rags
A frozen starving beggar band
Like rats we steal each other's scraps
Fall to fighting hand to hand

Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in Thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte

What dreams he made for us to dream
Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
The world was ours, we marched upon
Our little Corporal's command

And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
The sabre slash yet gives me pain
My one true love awaits me still
The flower of the Aquitaine

Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in Thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte

Well, I pray for her who prays for me
A safe return to my belle France
We prayed these wars would end all wars
In war we know is no romance

And I pray our child will never see
A little Corporal again
Point toward a foreign shore
Captivate the hearts of men

Save my soul from evil, Lord
And heal this soldier's heart
I'll trust in Thee to keep me, Lord
I'm done with Bonaparte

Heaven - Lyrics - God's Son - Nas

Title: Heaven
Album: God's Son
Artist: Nas
Composer(s): Eddie L Holman, Sheila Holman, Nasir Jones, Ajene Diarra Griffith, Karl Amani Wailoo, Jully Black

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
If heaven was a mile away
Would I pack up my bags
And leave this world behind?
If heaven was a mile away
Or save it all for you?

If heaven was a mile away
Would I, fill the tank up with gas
And be out the front door in a flash
Before reconsidering, this hell with you

It ain't you it's the things you do
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you, to hell with you

If heaven was a mile away
And you could ride by the gates
Would you try to run inside
When it opens would you try to die today?

Would you pray louder
Finally believing His power?
Even if you couldn't see
But you could feel, would you still doubt him?
How would you start acting?

Would you try to put the ki's down?
Thinking every drug sell
That you make in the streets He can see now
Would a fiend even want to get high
Would he stop smoking?
If he knew on his own two feet he could just stroll in

To get away and escape from the craziness
And I bet you there's a heaven for an atheist
It's hard taking this racist planet
Where they take another brother in a handcuff
Even if he innocent nigga get on the car
Put your motherfucking hands up

Thinking I'm a lose it, my mom's in chemo
Three times a week, yo keep trying but people
Is hard and God your young soldier's not so bold
But needs you, this world's my home but world I would leave

If heaven was a mile away
Would I pack up my bags
And leave this world behind?
If heaven was a mile away
Or save it all for you?

If heaven was a mile away
Would I, fill the tank up with gas
And be out the front door in a flash
Before reconsidering, this hell with you

It ain't you it's the things you do
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you, to hell with you

Nigga what you think
I'ma stop building, I'ma stop feeling
Like I'm Amistad's great, great grandchildren
How I'm not gonna want to make millions

Since the quarter water days
In the hallways making fake coke
Pass with the Reeses Pieces wrapper
In my mouth all day

But then my style has quite a while
That same type as Ill and Al Skratch
Game time to them cats never looked back
Cristal blowing dub sacks

That's when it all just hit me
You see the broads and Bentleys is nothing less
My nigga spend it all with me
I'd give it all away quickly

Just to hear them all I'd buy some new kicks
Free of any autographs so not to be recognized
Forgive me, it's becoming unbearable, making hits is easy
Put a famous bitch on the hook
There you go with a platinum CD

I know you heard the noise
Preachers touching on altar boys
Sodomizing not realizing
God is watching before the Lord

How can they do the devil's work?
A man giving another man head in church
Hell, it hurts just to fathom the thought
Wishing that I fled the earth

If heaven was a mile away
Would I pack up my bags
And leave this world behind?
If heaven was a mile away
Or save it all for you?

If heaven was a mile away
Would I, fill the tank up with gas
And be out the front door in a flash
Before reconsidering, this hell with you

It ain't you it's the things you do
It's tearing my heart in two
I would of fell with you, to hell with you

You trapped in your own hell
Every day I wakeup I'm blessed
Every day you wakeup
And breathe another breath you blessed

It's all the niggaz runnin' around, talk about I'm fucked up
I gotta get on, I gotta, I'm in a grind
I'm fucked up, yeah we're all in the grind
But look at the beautiful shit around you, it's a beautiful life

All my niggaz locked up, keep yo heads up
Heaven's just a mile away, I'm talkin' heaven on earth
Ain't got nottin' to do with money
Got nottin' to do with non-material

I'm talkin' about heaven in your own heart
In your own world baby, in your own existence
To my moms look at me baby
I love you girl, your boy is shinin', God's son

Tough Love - Lyrics - Patty Smyth

Title: Tough Love
Artist: Patty Smyth
Composer(s): Duane S Hitchings, Nick Gilder

Lyric:
You got tough love on your side
And your eyes are open wide
A rebel with a cause
Where the sound tracks sirens

And wrapped around the well, heart you hold
The mean streets won't catch you cold
Another story in the naked city
You got the cure where there's no pity

Well, it's a soldier's battle zone
Take aim to prove you're not alone
No prisoners, no fugitives

And you're face to face with victory
Heart's like a world, you come to say
The kamikaze pilot crashes
As a phoenix rises from the ashes

Tough love, you're hard to beat
You're worth the fight, it hits you where it hurts
Oh, are you tough enough, tough enough
Tough love, you're hard to beat

You're worth the fight
Soul surrender to your heart
You're tough enough, tough enough
Take it up against the ropes

I've been there where you hold your hopes
Where the fires of passion burns the waiting heart
We can break the red tape hustle
Now that's my kind of muscle

The stamina to end the runnin'
The armor when the night comes gunnin'
To steal your eyes with blind ambition
Beat you down with competition

You got tough love on your side
When your eyes see red and on dead-end streets
And hunger feeds the heart that beats
My one-to-one drum clears my way

Tough love, you're hard to beat
You're worth the fight, it hits you where it hurts
Oh, are you tough enough, tough enough
Tough love, you're hard to beat

You're worth the fight
Soul surrender to your heart
You're tough enough, tough enough
Take it up against the ropes

Z - A Ballad For The Fallen Soldier - Lyrics - The Blueprint 2: The Gift And The Curse - Jay

Title: Z - A Ballad For The Fallen Soldier
Album: The Blueprint 2: The Gift And The Curse
Artist: Jay
Composer(s): Shawn C Carter, Chad Hugo, Pharrell L Williams

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
This here's a ballad for all the fallen soldiers
I'ma bout 'ta show you how a hustlers life (this is life man)
And a soldier's life, parallel
And the one thing they got in common is pain (forget about me for a second)
Picture split screen
On one side we got a hustler getting ready for the block (human beings)
Other side you got the soldier getting ready for bootcamp (soldiers)
They're both at war (this is life)
Stay with us

Did you ever notice, before you think, life goes fast
So don't you worry, about what you see, it will pass

You lost him mama, the wars calling him
Feel its his duty to fall in line with all of them
He's a soldier
Rose through the ranks as the head of your house hold
Now its time to provide bank
Like he's supposed tah
Now just remember while he's going to November
Theres part of him growing up
His shirts soaks up your tears as he holds yah
Your heart beatin so fast speeding his pulse up
Yeah I know it sucks, Life aint a rose bud
A couple of speed bumps
You gotta take your lumps
Off to Bootcamp, the worlds facing terror
Bin Laden been happenin in Manhatten
Crack was anthrax back then, back when
Police was Al'Qaeda to black men
While I was out there hustling sinning with no religion
He was off the wall killing for a living

Days turn to nights, nights turn to years
Years turn to "how the fuck we make it in here?"
My barracks average couple fights a day
Get you locked in a hole wont see the light of day
And I feel like I'm just writing my life away
I never thought shit could end up quite this way
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from
I'm here for the good fight only the fakes run
I'm here for the purple heart, if I cant take one
For my team or my siblings whats my reason for living?
I love my niggas more then anything else
This war's about my family, me needin the wealth
You dont understand how useless as men we felt
Till you become a 5 star general
Shout out to my niggas that's locked in jail
P.O.W.'s thats still in the war for real

Your baby boy is getting grown
So your baby boy is moving on
I've gotta chase (gotta chase it)
If I'm gonna make it (gonna make it)
Your baby boy is getting grown
So your baby boy is moving on
I'm gonna make it
Even if I gotta take it (gotta take it)

Mama said pray your sons becoming a man
This wars taxin to 'em like Uncle Sam
Hear the noise make the right choice, understand
Every choice that he make he makes it for his fam
It's death before dishonour
And if hes gone you should honor his memory
Dont cry we all gonna die eventually
But if he's locked in the penetentiary send him some energy
They all winners to me
(What's up kid?)

Two Lights - Lyrics - Two Lights - Five For Fighting

Title: Two Lights
Album: Two Lights
Artist: Five For Fighting
Composer(s): John Ondrasik

Lyric:
What is courage? Is it brave?
What are lions? I've only seen them in parades
How is love supposed to read?
In a footnote of history

What's a tap on your shoulder?
That you're afraid to look over
A soldier's down in a fire fight
No one can look me in the eye

This is what it means to be alone

Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy but spare me my pride
Oh, I'm going for a drive

And if you find out he's coming home
When I come around the corner
I'll know that it's alright
Just leave me two lights

He was young just 23, didn't have to go
But it was the man he wanted to be
Like every son he was an only one
And one day he came to me, said

?Freedom's nothing to look over
Till each man can stand upon its shoulder
I'll right you mountains of letters
Each one a little bit better

And know I'll never be alone

Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy but spare me my pride
Oh, I'm going for a drive

And if you find out he's coming home
When I come around the corner
I'll know that it's alright
Just leave me two lights

Silent angels light the road up ahead
As the sentries guard the way
On the avenue of borrowed time

I'm almost home, the sun's to rise
I got to know, I've been driving all the night
There's our corner up ahead
I'm alive and I am dead

I drive right through the stop sign
I turn my head as I lift my eyes
My eyes burn

Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy, spare me my pride
I'm going for a drive

A Soldier'S King - Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

Title: A Soldier'S King
Artist: Kenny Rogers
Composer(s): John Jarvis, Kenny Horton

Lyric:
No one seemed to notice the man beside the road
He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlehem

In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle he caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark

Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know him and stand befor his light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight

He had marched for politicians, served under their command
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay

Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know him and stand befor his light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight

He stood before the son of God, come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
There he swore aligiance to the newborn baby king

Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know him and stand befor his light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight

Hard Times For An Honest Man - Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Title: Hard Times For An Honest Man
Artist: John Mellencamp
Composer(s): John Mellencamp

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
One man, does his work
He's not satisfied not at all
Feels like that he is bein' used
His self respect starts to fall
His frustration runnin' very very high
He takes it out on the one he loves
Because it's safe and who they gonna tell
And he hates the cold-bloodedness that runs inside

Oh yes, it's hard times
For an honest man
Very very very hard times
Hard times for an honest man
Very very very hard times

Sister, she's got a lot of pride
You can see it when she walks into the room
But she's young and she's unaware
What a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man, he lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up for the rest of her days
And there ain't no man can touch this girl's heart

Oh yes, it's hard times
For an honest man
Very very very hard times
Hard times for an honest man
Very very very hard times

So we walk, from the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and say good-bye
But some days are hard, like a soldier's steel-toed boots
And the rent we pay to stay here gets high

Oh yes, it's hard times
For an honest man
Very very very hard times
Hard times for an honest man
Very very very hard times

Hard times
For an honest man
Very very very hard times
Hard times for an honest man
Very very very hard times

Gun Shy - Lyrics - In My Tribe - 10,000 Maniacs

Title: Gun Shy
Album: In My Tribe
Artist: 10,000 Maniacs
Composer(s): Natalie Merchant

Lyric:
I always knew that you would take yourself far from home
As soon as, as far as, you could go
By the quarter inch cut of your hair and the Army issue pay
For the past eight weeks I can tell where you've been

For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins
There is a world outside of this room
And when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun

So now you are one of the brave few
It's awfully sad we need boys like you
I hope the day never comes
For here's your live round son
Stock and barrel, safety trigger, here's your gun

Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins
There is a world outside of this room
And when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun taking aim

For I don't mean to argue
They've made a decent boy of you
And I don't mean to spoil your homecoming
But baby brother you should expect me to

"Stock and barrel, safety trigger, here's your gun"
So now does your heart pitter pat, with a patriotic song
When you see the stripes of old glory waving?

Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins
There is a world outside of this room
And when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun taking aim

Well, I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you
And I don't mean to spoil your homecoming, my baby brother Jude
Oh, I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again
They're so good at making soldiers but they're not as good at making men

Artist: Mark Knopfler
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
My lady, may I have this dance
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
My lady, may I have this dance
And lady, may I know your name

You danced upon a soldier's arm
And I felt the blade of love so keen
And when you smiled, you did me harm
And I was drawn to you, my queen

Now these boots may take me where they will
Though they may never shine like his
There is no knight, I would not kill
To have my lady's hand to kiss

Yes, and they did take me through the hall
To leave me not one breath from you
And they fell silent one and all
And you could see my heart was true, bye

Then I did lead you from the hall
And we did ride 'pon the hill
Away beyond this city wall
And sure you are my lady still

Night in summer long ago
Stars were falling from the sky
And still, my heart, I have to know
Why do you love me, lady, why?

Fearless Love - Lyrics - David Wilcox

Title: Fearless Love
Artist: David Wilcox
Composer(s): David Patrick Wilcox

Lyric:
Fearless love, fearless love
Fearless love makes you cross the border

At your church they asked for volunteers
To make a presence in the park
That's where the wicked planned to demonstrate
And carry signs to set a spark

Someone behind you heaved a stone
That struck the thin man behind his ear
So now there's blood upon his sign
Which read, "There's nothing here to fear"

"The wrath of God," somebody yelled
"Will punish all of those like him
But if you travel back 2000 years
I swear you'd hear this all again"

Back then they'd say
"These soldiers walk on sacred ground
This land's our history and our home
They have no right to be around
They are the evil force of Rome"

So just how strong this change of heart must be
That one that Jesus once described
Kindness to your enemy
Carry his pack an extra mile

When fearless love, fearless love
Fearless love makes you cross the border

Your mind snaps back to where you stand
Your church is here to fight a cause
And at your feet a fallen man
Whose head is cradled in his arms

Though his blood contains his death
And though the lines are drawn in hate
You drop your sign of Bible verse
And help the wounded stand up straight

When fearless love, fearless love
Fearless love makes you cross the border

Oh yes, the high religious still will scorn
Just like they did all that time back
They'll say, you helped the other side
They saw you haul that soldier's pack

But now how could you carry that man's sign?
In your heart the choice was clear
You didn't join the other side
The battle lines just disappeared

When fearless love, fearless love
Fearless love makes you cross the border

Soldier'S Last Letter - Lyrics - George Jones

Title: Soldier'S Last Letter
Artist: George Jones
Composer(s): Henry Redd Stewart, Ernest Tubb

Lyric:
When the postman delivered the letter
Well, it filled her old heart full of joy
But she didn't know 'til she read the inside
It was the last one from her darling boy

"Dear Mom," was the way that it started
"I miss you so much," it went on
"And Mom, I didn't know that I loved you so
But I'll prove it when this war is won"

"I'm writing this down in a trench, Mom
So don't scold if it isn't so neat
For you know as you did when I was a kid
And would come home with mud on my feet"

"Well, the captain just gave us our orders
And Mom, we will carry them through
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
But for now I'll just say I love you"

Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
As she fought against tears in her eyes
For they came unashamed, there was no name
And she knew that her darlin' had died

That night as she knelt down by her bedside
She prayed, "Lord above, hear my plea
Protect all the sons who are fighting tonight
And dear God, keep America free"

Abduction - Lyrics - Tyranny of Souls - Bruce Dickinson

Title: Abduction
Album: Tyranny of Souls
Artist: Bruce Dickinson
Composer(s): Bruce (Gb 2) Dickinson, Roger Ramirez

Lyric:
I wake in sweat, you've come to steal my life away
Some strange electric glow of artificial day
The power breakers close, the grid of darkness falls
Shining, gleaming, black as night, burning all the light

What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find

So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind

Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins?
Evil laser gadgets come to penetrate my skin
The hanging judge is open and I'm damned before his eyes
Another genesis that failed, how many more have tried?

What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find

So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind

And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago
Highways hidden in the sand reveal the truths I know
They took my worthless heart and spat it through their eyes
Abduction means the end for me, a million years of misery

What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find

So have your way with me
This soldier's lost his victory
Rip me up, leave me behind
