Soldier's Daughter

[Verse 1] Greetings good stranger why should you die For a country sitting on a lie Pull my conscience from my hindsight I have learned from the soldier's plight No ideal is worth a bullet fight I heard this from my neighbor who sleeps with a knife He once had a daughter she was about your size I heard she went went war and when shot saw the light [Verse 2] Greetings good stranger I've seen the light as well It shines through my country and so i feel compelled To hold my conscience to what the bible tells And all I know is I don't want to go to hell And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt I learned this from my father who lived and who fell He once took the oath before his flag and knelt He died in the war and no remorse was felt [Chorus]x2 Greetings good stranger you seem very kind But I have learned from the soldier's plight Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives This I can be sure of i hope you'll see the light
