Over There — текст песни (Level 42)

Im a soldier of fortune

Ive come to save the day

Theres a country thats needs me

And an enemy to slay

All my friends are in uniform

God is on our side

But Im 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

Im so afraid I wont 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 .... ?
