[00:00.00]Soldier's Lament - Sonya Kitchell
[00:16.53]He fight and he pray he love and he bleed
[00:20.78]To no satisfaction was note as need
[00:24.47]And when he walks stands tall as he can
[00:29.02]For he's a man yeah he's a man
[00:32.98]And when he crumbles resolve to the ground
[00:37.04]Like burnt bits of paper life flutters round
[00:41.16]All eyes turn away no one wants to see
[00:45.54]A man who has lost in the fight to be free
[00:49.66]For we've been out runnin' for all of our lives
[00:59.73]No chance and stop and we'd surely lose sight
[01:14.31]In the back of his mind is a smiling face
[01:18.37]The one who said"You know it's no race"
[01:22.56]The one who said"You got time to breathe"
[01:26.69]'Cause child you're born we're all born free
[01:30.82]In the back of his mind is the back of a room
[01:35.07]So dust enshrouded and no dust broom
[01:39.32]Stands a chance to clear the cobwebs away
[01:43.26]So live in the back in the dark it'll stay
[01:49.95]And we've been out runnin' for all of our lives
[02:00.32]No chance and stop and we'd surely lose sight
[02:16.32]Tell me son what are you livin' for
[02:20.01]Tell me boy what are you livin' for
[02:24.01]Tell me son what are you livin' for
[02:28.01]Tell me tell me what are you livin' for
