Soldier, We Love You
Lyrics and Music by Rita Martinson
I read that you took a stand
And refused to kill in Vietnam.
You said no man was your enemy
What he's fighting for is to be free.
Ghetto streets lead nowhere
And ghetto cries fill the air.
Uncle Sam's in Nam to loot and rob
And people starve at home cause there's no jobs.
Oh ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
But soldier, we love you
Yeah, soldier we love you
Standing strong
'Cause it's hard to do
What you know you must do
Cause it's true
Yes, it's true.
They locked you up in their stockades
Yeah, they locked you up 'cause they're afraid
That you would rap and spread the word
But you can't jail truth, it will be heard.
Oh, ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
But soldier, we love you
Yeah, brave soldier we love you
Standing strong
Yes, it's hard to do
What you know you must do
Cause it's true
Yes, it's true.
And soon there will be others too
Who refuse to fight and stand with you
Yes they'll raise a fist high in the air
Say we're not going anywhere
Oh ain't it hard
To smile sometimes?
I know it's hard
To smile sometimes.
But soldier, we love you
Brave soldier we love you
Standing strong
Yes it's hard to do
What you know you must do
Cause it's true
Yes, it's true.
We love you.
