Over There |
| I’m a soldier of fortune |
| I’ve come to save the day |
| There’s a country that’s needs me |
| And an enemy to slay |
| All my friends are in uniform |
| God is on our side |
| But I’m leaving my baby back home |
| As we head for the ocean |
| Our spirits are high |
| To battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die! |
| Looking back at the shoreline |
| Ringing in my ears |
| Are the words of my baby back home |
| Where are you going to so far away |
| Your dreams of glory will soon fade away |
| We are so young, so much in love |
| Your country needs you but I need you more |
| So far away |
| Over there |
| Out on the frontline the story has changed |
| For the glory of battle is the myth on printed page |
| As my friends fall around me |
| I wonder when I die |
| Will they carry my body back home |
| What are you searching for so far away |
| Your dreams of glory will soon fade away |
| We are so young, so much in love |
| I’m so afraid I won’t see you again |
| Your country needs you but I need you more |
| So far away |
| Over there |
| So far away |
| Over there |
| Where are you going to so far away |
| Your dreams of glory will soon fade away |
| So many lives wasted away |
| So many die again and again |
| Some people say that the knights are all gone |
| Some people say that the dragons are dead |
| But the dragon lives on |
| As the spectre of war |
| And the killing and slaying goes on as before |
| Will it ever end |
| Oh … will it ever end |
| Will it ever end ??? |
