LEVEL 42 - Over There lyrics
rate meI'm a soldier of fortune<br>I've come to save the day<br>There's a country that's needs me<br>And an enemy to slay<br>All my friends are in uniform<br>God is on our side<br>But I'm leaving my baby back home<br><br>As we head for the ocean<br>Our spirits are high<br>To battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die!<br>Looking back at the shoreline<br>Ringing in my ears<br>Are the words of my baby back home<br><br>Where are you going to so far away<br>Your dreams of glory will soon fade away<br>We are so young, so much in love<br>Your country needs you but I need you more<br>So far away<br>Over there<br><br>Out on the frontline the story has changed<br>For the glory of battle is the myth on printed page<br>As my friends fall around me<br>I wonder when I die<br>Will they carry my body back home<br><br>What are you searching for so far away<br>Your dreams of glory will soon fade away<br>We are so young, so much in love<br>I'm so afraid I won't see you again<br>Your country needs you but I need you more<br>So far away<br>Over there<br>So far away<br>Over there<br><br>Where are you going to so far away<br>Your dreams of glory will soon fade away<br>So many lives wasted away<br>So many die again and again<br>Some people say that the knights are all gone<br>Some people say that the dragons are dead<br>But the dragon lives on<br>As the spectre of war<br>And the killing and slaying goes on as before<br>Will it ever end<br>Oh ... will it ever end<br>Will it ever end .... ?
