Hello everyone, so, this is a song called 'Soldier of hope', which I wrote nearly 11 years ago as far as i can work out...so it's not exactly new! It may even be one of my first ever songs. But I was recording with my good friend Sean Hatton a few weeks back, and this song just reappeared. It's a very simple track, and it's not a single release or anything, but I just wanted to share it with you as its a song with a story! I hope it's something for you to enjoy whilst I continue writing some new stuff! best wishes. Roo x
Lyrics -
Theres been many reasons for a while to sit and cry,
But now i know they're coming to an end.
I've been fighting on the front lines, a soldier for the good times,
fighting for the freedom of my friends.
My hands have felt suppression, a life of toil and blood,
My heart has heard the soul cries of the poor.
But now i'm coming home again,
And i'm never going away my friend,
I'm going to hold my head high ever more!
I say - 'oh no don't cry, its in your heart, so dry those eyes, keep holding on for your dear life, be a soldier of hope!'
I hung up emotions for a campaign of the heart,
But finally my heart has led me home,
I leave the brutal truth behind,
And follow with a lighter mind,
A man of hope and glory I've become.
I say - 'oh no don't cry, its in your heart, so dry those eyes, keep holding on for your dear life, be a soldier of hope!'
