10: Universal Soldier

by Buffy Sainte-Marie

Hes 5 foot 2 and hes 6 feet 4

He fights with missiles and with spears

Hes all of 31 and hes only 17.

Hes been a soldier for a thousand years

Hes a catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain

A Buddhist, and a Baptist and Jew.

And he knows he shouldnt kill

And he knows he always will kill

Youll for me my friend and me for you

And Hes fighting for Canada.

Hes fighting for France.

Hes fighting for the USA.

And hes fighting for the Russians.

And hes fighting for Japan

And he thinks well put an end to war this way.

And Hes fighting for democracy,

Hes fighting for the reds

He says its for the peace of all.

Hes the one, who must decide,

whos to live and whos to die.

And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him,

how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau?

Without him Caesar would have stood alone

Hes the one who gives his body

as a weapon of the war.

And without him all this killing cant go on

Hes the universal soldier

And he really is the blame

His orders comes from

far away no more.

They come from him.

And you and me.

And brothers cant you see.

This is not the way we put an end to war
