Maybe I've got some things to learn I'll wait before I return These hard times that are yet to come Mama said it is my concern
chorus: I feel for the lonely soldier That fights but never wins I feel for the lonely soldier That fights but never wins
There's a part of me that wants to find out Takes my breath, it's hard to believe. In times like this, so many heads are turned. Mama said it is my concern
chorus: I feel for the lonely soldier That fights but never wins I feel for the lonely soldier That fights but never wins
Night falls out here, gunshots ring out loud In a flash of light, a young man, he's cut down I ask myself tonight, why they continue to fight And no one ever wins.
I feel for the lonely soldier That fights but never wins (When will it end?) I feel for the lonely soldier (I hear the mothers cry) That fights but never wins (When will it end?)
I feel for the lonely soldier (Why must the children have to pay) That fights but never wins (for their father's sins) I feel for the lonely soldier That fights (When will it end?)
