A soldier is a member of the land component of national armed forces; whereas a soldier hired for service in a foreign army would be termed a mercenary. The majority of cognates of the word "soldier" that exist in other languages have a meaning that embraces both commissioned and non-commissioned officers in national land forces.
The word soldier entered modern English in the 14th century, from the equivalent Middle English word soudeour, from Anglo-French soudeer or soudeour, meaning mercenary, from soudee, meaning shilling's worth or wage, from sou or soud, shilling. The word is also related to the Medieval Latin soldarius, meaning soldier (literally, "one having pay"). These words were ultimately derived from the Late Latin word solidus, referring to an Ancient Roman coin used in the Byzantine Empire.
In most armed forces use of the word soldier has taken on a more general meaning, due to the increasing specialization of military occupations that require different areas of knowledge and skill-sets. As a result, "soldiers" are referred to by names or ranks which reflect an individual's military occupation specialty arm, service or branch of military employment, their type of unit, or operational employment or technical use such as: trooper, tanker, commando, dragoon, infantryman, marine, paratrooper, ranger, sniper, engineer, sapper, medic, or a gunner.
Plot
A collection of seven stories from the Halo Universe created by Japan's most creative minds. First up is "Origins" a two part episode showing the expansive history of the Halo Universe and the history of the 100,000 year long franchise timeline, told through the eyes of Cortana. Second comes "The Duel" Taking place long before the Human-Covenant War, it tells the story of an Arbiter, Fal 'Chavamee, who refuses to accept the Covenant Religion. Taking a turn to the Spartan side of the story "Homecoming" focuses on the tragedies involving the Spartan-II recruitment in 2517, and the Spartans coming to terms with their origins. Taking a turn in tone comes "Odd One Out" a non-cannon parody of the Halo storyline. "Prototype" tells the story of a Marine who goes against his orders to destroy an advanced prototype armor and uses the suit to buy time for civilians evacuating from the planet. "The Babysitter" tales of the the rivalry between the Spartan-II Commandos and the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers as they're sent to Covenant-controlled world to assassinate a Covenant Prophet. And finally "The Package" a two-part all CGI film follows Master Chief and an elite squad of Spartan-II super soldiers as they execute a top-secret mission to retrieve a highly valuable UNSC asset on a Covenant Assault Carrier.

[from English version]::Lindbergh: [singing] No, no! I will not surrender!
I memorize, I walk in line
carry my sacrifice for the sake of the millions
All night you be the light on the water
You be the pride and the sorrow
Shower your love to me there
Summer died before the rain
Unify every soul together be lonely
Ride on follow me to the sunrise
Save me the world that is broken
Nothing but love to be there

It was just after sunrise
And down by the sea
Down on the sand flats
Where nothing will grow
Come drumming and footsteps
Like out of a dream
Where the golden green waters come in
Just nine lucky soldiers had come
Through the night
Half of them wounded
And barely alive
Just nine out of twenty was headed for home
With eleven sad stories to tell
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed
SOLDIERS
Do I hear what I think I’m hearing?
Do I see the signs I think I see?
Or is this just a fantasy?
Is it true that the beast is waking
Stirring 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 nothing 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
Taking 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 drawing near
Is it only a storm approaching?
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 nothing 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
Taking 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
Taking a chance
’cause if the bugler starts to play
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
And when soldiers came
Them say them come to make us tame
And from that day until now on
We were jeered and laughed to scorn
Things used to be ire (before the soldiers came)
Things used to be nice, so nice now
Things used to be ire
Things used to be nice, so nice
Our country them did enter, yeah
Troops trodding left right and centre
Everywhere
One moment at peace with Nature
Now victims of a massacre
We got our spears
We got our shields
But their guns were greater
Prepare for a slaughter
Give I back I witch doctor
Give I back I Black Ruler
Me no want no dictator
Me no want no tyrant on yah
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
Way down in Africa
Where the backra still rules day after day
The Black Man is suffering now far more
Than when he was a slave
Is there a need for war?
Peace my bredren - here them bawl
Bodies in mutilated condition
Faces scarred beyond recognition
Is this what civilization means to me?
Then without it I prefer to be
So...
Give I back I witch doctor
Give I back I Black Ruler
Me no want no dictator
Me no want no tyrant on yah
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
Dutallee!
For everything that takes a man, a soldier
I can feel it get closer to me
Reunite when this sparkle is over
But they always seem to take the ones close to me
Every soldier that die, die for a cause
Die pon the battle field
Bless every mother that cry, momma cry for a cause
God, no life is real
Every soldier that die, die for a cause
Die pon the battle field
Bless every mother that cry, momma cry for a cause
God, no life is real
Your soul is missed while you're gone
You left your niggas all alone pon them own
Life goes on but the memories live on
I pray the angels fly and keep you warm
Life goes on, you look down on your soldier
Change hands, oh, can you fix it over
When it come to a closer, we put down our everything
Gone forever, but it's still much better
We've been through so many things
Many lost but some many wins
We were supposed to be kings
No flower on your wings
Every soldier that die, die for a cause
Die pon the battle field
Bless every mother that cry, momma cry for a cause
God, no life is real
Every soldier that die, die for a cause
Die pon the battle field
Bless every mother that cry, momma cry for a cause
God, no life is real
Around the corner every morning just to see you get across,
The civic fathers divide us up into cats and dogs,
The seargent major of the neighbourhood is weighing up the cost,
The senior transit lane,
While we're standing in the rain,
Worried if our heads will fall,
Alright, right,
We'll stay together 'til the kids die just to keep it clean,
Buy the weapons with the sales made from garden magazines,
Strike up the ladies to bake tea cakes for the council's war machine,
And we're digging up the roads,
And widening it just so,
You can suffocate at home,
Alright, right,
The Prince of Wales tea,
To keep the garden green,
but they don't want to be there,
The shit can't be there,
You woke me up just to check that I'm alive,
We talk to each other as if we're five,
Raise open the flag just to see which of us cares,
And we're digging up the roads,
And widening it just so,
You can suffocate at home,
Alright, right,
Alright,
Alright,
Alright,
I just got one questing

.45 caliber armered pistol when I load I could stop a bull dozer
March there with my army I get marched over
Before you disrepect me you better serve a hundred octobers in Angola
(Hoo) Who as you were bitch stay still lay low
you better fuckin' knock a hole in your A-O
I'm marchin' with my AK one two three
ya'll niggas wanna be like us but it ain't gone be
Tell the world that I still burn
tell the world that i'm still breathing
tell your friends that I'm alright
tell your friends that i am Jesus Christ
if it makes them feel like dancing.
Tonight the earth is getting thinner
and the sky just won't hold still
will I outlive another winter
tell your friends that I will
Lose myself like a child in the snow
gentle steps so I won't fall below
through the ground and this velvet sky
somewhere else the armies pass me by
Now soldiers call
and soldiers fall
your armies will never contain me
tonight I shine
tonight is mine
the soldiers will never contain me
Come on
come on
It's a natural progression
into ourselves as we become
this natural infection
away from fear we're leading everyone
into their fathers' corners
corners
yeah
I see the insects closing in
take a weapon we can kill
every reason no one wins
and tell your friends that i will
Lose myself like a child in the snow
gentle steps so I won't fall below
through the ground and this velvet sky
somewhere else the armies pass right by
now soldiers fall
and soldiers call
your armies will never contain me
tonight I shine
tonight is mine
and your armies will never contain me
yeah
hey hey hey
come on, come on
fall fall fall fall
now soldiers fall
and those soldiers crawl
their armies will never touch me
cause tonight i shine
and this night is mine
your armies will never contain me
let the soldiers cry
the soldiers die
your armies just cannot touch me
cause tonight I burn
tonight I learn
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realize
Eighty thousand people in a state of rowdy fever
There will never be a sequel to this evening
Singing in the rafters, in the wings and over galleys
And then after all the laughing, just a draught
From the wings and over galleys 'til I'm in a lonely alley
If a feeling from my childhood comes to me then I will rally
With all the cloves and all the rose tinted rows that go and sully
Soak up that moment, woe is the finale
Lonely, I am sinking in and over thinking it
Looking at the goal, only slowly it is shrinking
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day
(Too late)
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realize
The cheapest throwaway shades are my deepest stowaway aid
I'm up with the angels but keep a toe in the trade
Known these folks since I was little but only through this ritual
It's a pity they don't know me but what is there else than this?
Sweeping and sweeping, the speaking unceasing
From steeple to steeple, the people are shrieking
Soon we parade through the fence, absolutely Dame Judy Dench'd
And then stop, tell them to score and they flop
I don't think I like this, I'm only ever nervous
I'm a fighter, I'm a fighter but tonight I'd like to flight
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day
(Too late)
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this, it's gonna stay like this
We line the streets like soldiers daily
To let them know that we ain't fading
This is a beat, you can see it in my eyes
It's gonna stay like this until they realize
The past isn't over, last minute grow
Ask me to show you, ask me to go
Or stab me in the throat
Hesitate, hesitate, hesitate, wait
Any day, any day
On your feet, who's with me
On your feet, who's with me
One world, made better, in slaight, hard bitter
There is no compromise, your bringing forth your sacrifice
On your feet, who's with me
On your feet, let's go
Every time I see inside you I see myself within you
let's go
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
all for one, let's go
On your feet, who's with me
Lock tide, old strain, there it goes in vain
There is no compromise, your bringing forth your sacrifice
On your feet, who's with me
On your feet, let's go
Every time I see inside you I see myself within you
let's go
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
one for all, we're coming
Every time I see inside you I see myself within you, ohh let that fade away
Your pride inside of me, your honor inside me, respect inside of inside of me, go
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
our soldiers, let's go
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
(whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers
all for one, we're coming
Every time I see inside you I see myself within you, ohh let that fade away
This is for my soldiers
Not my soldiers that chose to be soldiers
But the soldiers that were forced to be soldiers
Now what's the trouble, you scared of being a human?
If the truth is a tool I double dare you to use it
Hit the booth and I'm well aware of what I'm doin'
If I confuse you with the humor I'm preparing them for the movement
I've been alive before and every person's got a purpose
Most don't observe it or know what they're striving towards
Only you can light the torch
Cause you won't survive the war if you don't know what the fuck it is you're fighting for
Most of us won't open up and trust the inner source
Combined with being tempted to just accept it
But don't twist the message, if you must think of my support
Sometimes you gotta pull off the tees and get on some left right left shit
I worked with 80 soldiers hooded behind locked doors
Forced into a war, an entrance with no exit
Before they could grow up, just some crazy soldiers
Armin them with crack and guns, in essence, defenseless
Yup my man rappin killsmatic enhance them
In his own words 21st century panther
13 years old gets into a fight
Decided to steal the kid's bike
Cops come and he ends up in hand cuffs
Two months in and now he's caught in the trap
Got out, got caught with a gat and crack
Now whatta these people think
Juvenile life like that he grew up in a room with a mac
And he'll be policed until the day he can legally drink
Now tell me what's the matter with this picture
I wish it was a dream but it seems too vivid
There's blood on these streets I can't see who's is it
I should probably mind my business
I said tell me what's the matter with this picture
I wish it was a dream but it seems to vivid
There's blood on these streets I can see whose is it
America wants me to mind my business
Now if you contain anything in a cage
Its natural tendency is going to try to be escape right?
When these kids get out of the gates and face life
If you raised them as a criminal what do you estimate they'll behave like?
The ratio is 80 something percent of kids who get locked up again or go straight to the pen
And that's strange right
It's a snowball effect, and they wanna see you again
So they can make sure that America remains white
Yup, going back on that race shit
Most of the neighborhoods are like cages they try and escape and
If the American dream is to make it
It's obviously blatant that if you're left with nothing, what do you do?
Attempted Murder was the case
My man got beat up, stomped in his face
Ask George bush what you do when you're attacked
His boy went and let it spray, hit one of them in the leg
Now George you can relate,
Remember Iraq, or was it Afghanistan? Just ain't funny
Proving sometimes you gotta take something to make money
My man's homie snitched and said that he planned to hit
And he'll be out when he's 46
Now ain't the game something
The soldiers follow the same orders
The generals are Crips folk and south of the boarder
Now is it a kid with a gun or the system he lives in that has his disorder
If there's a fiend on the block, somebody's servin em
If there's a teen with a Glock, there's a cop lookin to turn em in
If you have something I want, there's somebody murderin
Since 1492, where the fuck do you think we learned it from
Now tell me what's the matter with this picture
I wish it was a dream but it seems too vivid
There's blood on these streets I can't see whose is it
I should probably mind my business
I said tell me what's the matter with this picture
I wish it was a dream but it seems to vivid
There's blood on these streets I can see whose is it
Soldiers love a battle and a sailor loves a sea

I haven't had the time to write in such desperate times
So I'll begin.
I wore out my lungs today. Been screaming for this to change.
Nothing but hot air ever reached your brain.
I calmed myself to disprove the glory of your American Dream.
Tonight we try to win the crowd for gasoline.
I broke my first on walls. She said it proved nothing at all.
I hope these battered halls prevent the costs of war. Yet the prices soar.
I bit my lip, waved goodbye, wrote off your debts in a single line.
Choked on the words I couldn't tell. Broke the vows we used to sell.
I've been wondering.
Why do the heartbeats of this city sound like noise to you?
I've been fighting my eyelids to stay inside my head
I've been battling the blitstering cold with caffine and chapped lips.
I've been chasing lover's dreams up the wrong stairs in a house made of stone and glass
In a town where no one cares.
I broke my first on walls. She said it proved nothing at all.
I hope these battered halls prevent the costs of war. Yet the prices soar.
I bit my lip, waved goodbye, wrote off your debts in a single line.
Choked on the words I couldn't tell. Broke the vows we used to sell.
I will scream these words like a loaded gun
I've been holding it in. It's got to come out.
It won't encroach on your speech.
It won't impose any harm
And if I die tonight as least I left you a song
Why do the heartbeats of this city sound like music to you?
It's time to strap our boots on,
This is the perfect day to die,
Wipe the blood out of our eyes.
In this life there's no surrender,
There's nothing left for us to do,
Find the strength to see this through.
We are the ones who will never be broken,
With our final breath,
We'll fight to the death,
We are soldiers! We are soldiers!
Woah!
We are soldiers!
I stand here right beside you,
Tonight we're fighting for our lives,
Let me hear your battle cry.
Your battle cry!
We are the ones who will never be broken,
With our final breath,
We'll fight to the death,
We are soldiers! We are soldiers!
We are the ones who will not go unspoken, (Not go unspoken)
No, we will not sleep,
We are not sheep,
We are soldiers! We are soldiers!
Yeah!
We stand shoulder to shoulder,
We stand shoulder to shoulder,
We stand shoulder to shoulder,
You can't erase us,
You'll just have to face us.
We stand shoulder to shoulder!
We stand shoulder to shoulder!
We stand shoulder to shoulder!
You can't erase us,
You'll just have to face us!
We are the ones who will never be broken, (Never be broken)
With our final breath,
We'll fight to the death,
We are soldiers! We are soldiers!
We are the ones who will not go unspoken, (Not go unspoken)
No, we will not sleep,
We are not sheep,
We are soldiers! We are soldiers!
Yeah!
(Gang Chorus)
Oh you watch me steady, you
Watch me with such a quiet sincerity
And you hold me heavy, you
Hold me like I was born to be held
And the light comes in here, yeah
Morning my dear, and the restlessness of arms
And we lie here longing now
Words were ours that we'll never be harmed
'Cause you are dear to me
Yeah you are dear
But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
If this was how it was meant to fall, no
If this goes wrong again
Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning
and just go
And just go
And just go
I made you breakfast, oh
Soldiers to guard and keep you company
When I'm goin' away again
All faces and falsities of new friends
Yeah there's fires here to burn, and
Timbers left to learn in this young heart
And honey please don't think I don't miss you, no
Don't think I don't think of you when we're apart
Because I do dear, I do
Yeah I do dear
But if this goes wrong again, oh heaven forbid
If this was how it was meant to fall, no
If this goes wrong again
Will you pretend that you know, steady as the morning
and just go
And just go
Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you, baby
You feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into you darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
Oh I'll stand by you
I will share your fear
Walk along with you, on me you can depend
This trust will last forever
You're the brother I never had
I will be with you through all dangers
With you right to the end
'Til my last whole breath is taken
I will carry, carry you home
I will carry you when you are wounded
I'll be your eyes when you can't see
And I would risk my life to try and save you
And you would do the same for me
When you can't walk any further
And your body feels too weak
I will carry you on my shoulders
I will find the strength I need
I will carry you when you are wounded
I'll be your eyes when you can't see
And I would risk my life to try and save you
And you would do the same for me
I will carry you when you are wounded
I'll be your eyes when you can't see
And I would risk my life to try and save you
And you would do the same for me
I will carry you oh when you are wounded
I'll be your eyes when you can't see
And I would risk my life to try and save you
And you would do the same for me
I'm sorry to put you through all this
I'm sorry that there was no last kiss
'Cos I love you beautiful
I will love you always
Don't cry I know you'll have a wonderful life
Don't cry she'll always be the apple of my eye
'Cos I love you beautiful
I will love you always
'Cos I love you beautiful
I will love you always
I'll see you again
I might be in heaven
You're free to start again
My love will never end
And I'm sorry, to my family and my friends
I thought I'd leave you with a few words again
Oh I love you beautiful
I will love you always
Oh I love you beautiful
I'll always love you always
Each regiment salutes its brave
We'll remember you
As we're standing at your grave
In our hearts and in our minds
We pay our gratitude
We'll remember you
Today the flag will fly half-mast
Blowing in the wind for you
As we remember who keeps our land free
Who keeps our land free
Just one day is not enough
We will mourn the loss
When the stars come out tonight
Remember hero inside
Just one day is not enough
For the ones who gave their lives
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
A great British hero
We will not take for granted
The sacrifice for our land
We will stand resolute
And we'll pray
That we can stand together
On rememberance day
Today the flag will fly half-mast
Blowing in the wind for you
We remember who keeps our land free
Who keeps our land free
Just one day is not enough
We will mourn the loss
When the stars come out tonight
Remember hero inside
Just one day is not enough
For the ones who gave their lives
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
A great British hero
Just one day is not enough
We will mourn the loss
When the stars come out tonight
Remember hero inside
Just one day is not enough
For the ones who gave their lives
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
A great British hero
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
Every soldier who gave their lives -
Lives forever
Every soldier who fought the fight -
Echoes in our minds
All of the wounded and the brave
The ones God couldn't save
We salute your courage
Coming home with pride
Coming home with heads held high
Coming home from lands afar
Coming home to your arms
All those heroes who defend our flag
Will live on forever
All the heroes both young and old
That soldier onto unknowns
From across this changing world
We live in the hope
That you come back home
Coming home with pride
Coming home with heads held high
Coming home from lands afar
Coming home to your arms
I'm coming home with pride
I'm coming home with heads held high
Oh I'm coming home from lands afar
I'm coming home to your arms
Coming home, home to your arms
Coming home from lands afar
I'm coming home to your arms
This time of year, it hurts the most
Daddy's not at home, I wish I could be back
She takes comfort, from a letter he wrote
She keeps them close, and she cries alone
On Christmas Eve, as you go to sleep
I'll be missing you, sending you my love
My letter is
At Christmas time, it hurts the most
One day you'll understand, I'm gone but not forgotten
I wish I could walk, through the front door
With presents in my hands, to see your face once more
On Christmas Eve, as you go to sleep
I'll be missing you, sending you my love
My letter is
My love will go on, my words come from afar
I'll be missing you, I'll be holding you
This time of year, it hurts the most
Daddy's not at home, he'll be missing you
He'll be missing you
On Christmas Day, when you awake
I'll be missing you, sending all my love
Would you know my name*
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
[*Instrumental:]
Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
Cause I know I don't belong
When you're weary*
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy he's my brother
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Ummm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Ummm Going to try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Ummm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Ummm Going to try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight,
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light,
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Ummm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm Going to try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Ummm Going to try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
When you're down and troubled*
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
This time of year, it hurts the most
Daddy's not at home,
I wish I could be back.
She takes comfort,
From a letter he wrote.
She keeps them close and she cries alone.
On Christmas Eve, As you go to sleep
I'll be missing you,
Sending you my love
My letter reads
At Christmas time, It hurts the most,
One day you'll understand,
I'm gone but not forgotten,
I wish I could walk through the front door with presents in my hands
To see your face once more.
On Christmas Eve, As you go to sleep
I'll be missing you,
Sending you my love
'My letter reads'
My love will go on, My words come from afar
I'll be missing you,
I'll be holding you,
This time of year, it hurts the most
And Daddy's not home,
He'll be missing you, he'll be missing you,
And on Christmas Day when you awake
I'll be missing you,
Sending all my love
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
I am sailing, I am sailing...
Home again across the sea
I am sailing,
Stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
I am flying
I am flying
Like a bird
Across the sky
I am flying
Passsing high clouds
To be with you, to be free...
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Through the dark night...
Far away
I am dying
Forever trying
To be with you, Who can say...
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Through the dark night...
Far away...
I am dying...
Forever trying.
To be with you, Who can say...
We are sailing
We are sailing
Home again
Across the Sea
We are sailing
Stormy Waters
To be near you, to be free
We are sailing,
We are sailing...
Home again, across the sea
We are sailing, Stormy Waters (Stormy Waters)
To be near you, to be free
Oh lord to be near you, to be free
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Each regiment salutes its brave
We'll remember you
As we're standing at your grave
In our hearts and in our minds
We pay our gratitude
We'll remember you
Today the flag will fly half-mast
Blowing in the wind for you
As we remember who keeps our land free
Who keeps our land free
Just one day is not enough
We will mourn the loss
When the stars come out tonight
Remember hero inside
Just one day is not enough
For the ones who gave their lives
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
A great British hero
We will not take for granted
The sacrifice for our land
We will stand resolute
And we'll pray
That we can stand together
On rememberance day
Today the flag will fly half-mast
Blowing in the wind for you
We remember who keeps our land free
Who keeps our land free
Just one day is not enough
We will mourn the loss
When the stars come out tonight
Remember hero inside
Just one day is not enough
For the ones who gave their lives
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
A great British hero
Just one day is not enough
We will mourn the loss
When the stars come out tonight
Remember hero inside
Just one day is not enough
For the ones who gave their lives
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
A great British hero
Return to our homelands with pride
Because you are
Around the corner every morning just to see you get across
The civic fathers divide us up into cats and dogs
The sergeant major of the neighborhood is weighing up the cost
The senior transit lane
While we're standing in the rain
Worried if our heads will fall
Alright, right
We'll stay together 'til the kids die just to keep it clean
Buy the weapons with the sales made from garden magazines
Strike up the ladies to bake tea cakes for the council's war machine
And we're digging up the roads
And widening it just so
You can suffocate at home
Alright, right
The Prince of Wales tea
To keep the garden green
But they don't want to be there
The shit can't be there
You woke me up just to check that I'm alive
We talk to each other as if we're five
Raise open the flag just to see which of us cares
And we're digging up the roads
And widening it just so
You can suffocate at home
Alright, right
Since a kid I always loved to sing
I told my teachers, "That's what I want to be"
And this road I'm on, as sketchy it may be
Brings chances to beat the odds the devils has for me
And I'm never gonna miss a beat
Because brother, I'm a soldier
No, I'm never gonna miss a beat
Because I got to be a soldier
And in heaven maybe
He is smiling down on me
But behind the doors
Of my heart I am crying
Epic warfare, it's spiritual
When out of nowhere come the black cannon balls
Today we broke down and caught wind
Of a tragedy in the same hour
But tonight I, I won't sing about this
Because I'm never gonna miss a beat
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
No I'm never gonna miss a beat
Because the Lord made me a soldier
And in heaven maybe
He is smiling down on me
But behind the doors
Of my heart I am crying
Today, behind the doors of my heart
And in the end the life we lead
It will have made a difference
In a world unseen
So we're never gonna miss a beat
Because brother, we are soldiers
No, we're never gonna miss a beat
Because we got to be soldiers
And in heaven maybe
He is smiling down on me
But behind those doors
Of my heart I am crying
If I said it was easy always I'd be lying
Today behind those doors
Of my heart I am crying
If I said it was easy always I'd be lying
You know how to kill someone inside
It came so natural to you,
Or at least is what your eyes have told me,
Your eyes have told me...
Queen of hearts, now come and get your crown
It's the only thing that makes you be somebody
When you know you're nothing
All my prayers so silent to your ears
Every drop of blood to calm
Your thirst of sins and holiness
All this now claims revenge!
Will I be ready when you come back?
What's stronger now,
My love for you or for myself?
Will I really win if I loose you?
It's a battle but no one will win or loose the war
We're like soldiers in this endless war of fools
Now celebrate our dead with a flower and a tear
And start a brand new heartbeat
Every time you look at me I have to fake
That your venom won't hurt if you bite again
Will I really live if I loose you?
Will I really win?
We know how to kill someone inside
See all the faces
Out walking in the street
You will find a way to love
See how they run
See how they fly
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh ooh
Who are you?
Who are you?
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, eight
Many more to obligate
See past the surface
To all the broken hearts
Beating much too slow
See how they run
See how they fly
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh wah wah wah
Ooh ooh
Who are you?
Who are you?
Without you my heart aches, but for one night the world stood still.
Alone. Collected in a quiet way.
The burden of self doubt goes up in flames.
As the sunset bounced off darkened clouds.
A peaceful memory grows that life goes on without you.
There you were in my arms, staring into my eyes,
I want to hold you and let you die.
Regrets painted across star filled skies.
Never knowing when our time would end.
As the moonlight shines on hollow eyes.
A frightful image grows.
Life goes on without you.
And there you were in my arms.
Staring into my eyes.
I want to hold you and let you die.
Your everything I ever wanted,
And now I'll watch you slowly die... and life goes on without you.
If you wanna know
You wounded me
You wounded me down to the bone
But a little bit
Just a part of me
A part of me knows
We don’t wanna fight on
And I
Know your pain
is the same
And I forgive you
We’re soldiers
We’re soldiers
Armies of one on a battle field
We’re soldiers
And soldiers bleed
Woh oh oh
Before it’s
All over
You’ll never be unforgivable
You and I we’re soldiers
No victories
Or apologies
That we’re hurting too much to give
And I
Realize
Our bitter lies
Are killing everything that we wanna let live
And I
Know your pain
is the same
And I forgive you
We’re soldiers
We’re soldiers
Armies of one on a battle field
We’re soldiers
And soldiers bleed
Woh oh oh
Before it’s
All over
You’ll never be unforgivable
You and I we’re soldiers
And after all that we’ve been through
We gotta find a way to move on
You and I we’re soldiers…
We’re soldiers
We’re soldiers
Armies of one on a battle field
We’re soldiers
And soldiers bleed
Woh oh oh
Before it’s
All over
You’ll never be unforgivable
You and I we’re soldiers
For what it’s worth
You wounded me
But I forgive you
