Pat Benatar – Too Long A Soldier Lyrics  Share

From Pat Benatar's album: Wide Awake In Dreamland

We were the children of `45
Loaded like pistols and taught how to die
We looked the enemy straight in the eye (And never surrender)
Through trenches dug in the back of my mind
I go over the top time after time
Me and the ones we left behind (Faces I^,ll always remember)

Now there^,s no fight left within me, but the writing of this wrong
As nations we^,re divided, but as people we are one
Like brothers in blood it seems that we^,ve been -Too Long A Soldier

In the city of monuments, among the flags of all governments
The order of battle is written in the shadows of a hard black line
Where people cry for a nations scars
And heros sleep beneath a blanket of stars
Too young to die, but never too old to play the general^,s game

Now there^,s no life left within them, but the memory lingers on
As nations we^,re divided, but as people we are one
For brothers in blood we sing that we^,ve been -Too Long A Soldier

Eternal flames blow in the wind, I^,ve been Too Long A Soldier
Captain of the guard I^,m coming in, Too Long, Too Long A Soldier

I^,ve seen so much worth dying for, so little worth killing over

Hey, Hey

Eternal flames blow in the wind, I^,ve been Too Long A Soldier
Captain of the guard I^,m coming in, Too Long, Too Long A Soldier
I^,ve seen so much worth dying for, so little worth killing over
Soldiers gone before me, I will surely fade away

My eyes have seen the glory, and the suffering and the pain
I^,ve been Too Long A Soldier, Too Long, Too Long A Soldier
I^,ve been Too Long A Soldier

Too Long A Soldier)
Eternal flames blow in the wind
Too Long A Soldier)
My eyes have seen the glory of
Too Long A Soldier)
Oh say can you see by the dawns early light
Oooh, Ooh, Ooh
Oooh, Ooh, Ooh
