Soldier

by Civil Twilight

on Civil Twilight (2010)

I take aim from the kitchen window
I take aim from up and down below
I take aim from the tree in your backyard
I fall asleep but I'm always on guard
I take the shots but I have no authority
I take the shots but I'm not guilty
I'm just a soldier in another war
It doesn't matter who I'm fighting for

I don't stop till my country says so
I don't stop till the end of the show
I don't know why I hold this gun
I'm just a soldier
Fighting for someone

I have a wife and a big ol' family
I have a wife and she's waiting at home for me
I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door
It doesn't matter what I've done before

I don't stop till my mission is done
I don't stop till they tell me I've won
I don't know what I'm fighting for
I'm just a soldier aiming for one more

My family they cover me
My family they cover me
All I see is what I believe
I am not guilty, no
I am not guilty

I don't stop not even in my dreams
I don't stop seeing things that I've seen
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else
