Lyrics

I was talking to a friend of mine
About his days out on the line
Just a kid straight out of school
Out fighting for the Golden Rule

He talked of friends both live and dead
Talked of demons in his head
Young at heart so old in pain
Out in the jungle in the pouring rain

He sees the world in a different way
Never quite k owing what to say
To know the ones that lived and died
You can see them in a Soldier's Eye

His tone was hushed as we talked that day
Every word just seemed to weigh
Heavy on his mind and in his soul
Those days down there sure took their role

Though years removed you could feel that scar
When he went away so far
That gaze, that look way out in space
Where friends disappeared without a trace

He sees the world in a different way
Never quite k owing what to say
To know the ones that lived and died
You can see them in a Soldier's Eye

I was talking to a friend of mine
About his days out on the line
Just a kid straight out of school
Out fighting for the Golden Rule

He talked of friends both live and dead
Talked of demons in his head
Young at heart so old in pain
Out in the jungle in the pouring rain

He sees the world in a different way
Never quite k owing what to say
To know the ones that lived and died
You can see them in a Soldier's Eye
