Soldier
by
Samantha M Jones
Throw down your rifle...pick up a rose
Smell it's perfume, such a symbol of love
Rejoicing in freedom's a much better feeling
It means you're in touch with the good Lord above
Look all around you devastation is endless
No-one is happy, no-one smiles anymore
You have the power for changing each moment
You have the key that opens the door
Please lay down your rifle pick up that flower
Look to your enemy, embrace him today
Walk hand in hand, fight no more soldier
Turn to your leaders...turning quietly away
They cannot guide you, they're merely dictators
Their only objective is power...control
So throw down your rifle, walk away soldier
Let them do the fighting whilst you find your soul
