Soldiers

Do I hear what I think I'm hearin'? Do I see the signs, I think I see? Or is this just fantasy Is it true that the beast is wakin'? Stirrin' in his restless sleep tonight in the pale moonlight In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I don't sing They blow their horns and march along They drum their drums and look so strong You'd think that nothin' in the world was wrong Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way, takin' a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance What's that sound, what's that dreadful rumble? Won't somebody tell me what I hear? In the distance but drawin' near Is it only a storm approachin'? All that thunder and the blinding light in the winter night In the grip of this cold December You and I have reason to remember Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I don't sing They blow their horns and march along They drum their drums and look so strong You'd think that nothin' in the world was wrong Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way, takin' a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance Soldiers write the songs that soldiers sing The songs that you and I won't sing Let's not look the other way, takin' a chance 'Cause if the bugler starts to play We too must dance
