johnny clegg – boy soldier lyrics
i am a boy soldier
look into my eyes
i’m tired and older
than the dead man by my side
i can take your soul
in a flash and a smile
and my home, and my name, and my life
lie so very far behind me
every second in no man’s land
i hold my life in these small hands
every day in a world gone mad
hard to face who i am
once we were children
once we played in the morning light
once we were chidren
one morning they came
the soldiers took us away
i am a boy soldier
see my eyes’ empty stare
each day explodes with pain
and it’s more than i can bare
the ghosts of the slain
are the shadows in my eyes
and i dream tomorrow will come
and carry me away
every second in no man’s land
i hold my life in these small hands
every day in a world gone mad
hard to face who i am
once we were children
once we played in the morning light
once we were dreamers
one morning they came
the soldiers took us away
