one day i will wake and see

pretty baby you and me

not a load of bodies in the sun

one day i will breathe the air

and smell some goodness there

and i'll give you everything but none

but i'm just a soldier

with a lot of dreams to sell

come by some wishful thinking

that i'll make it from this hell

and gorilla killed my brother

and his child was free today

and i hear there's a new president

in the good old usa

one day i will win the fight

there will be no black and white

just the children growing up as one

one day i will breathe the air

smell no violence bleeding there

and feel this is a good world for my son

but i'm just a soldier

with a lot of dreams to sell

come by some wishful thinking

but i'll make it from this hell

this is god's own beautiful country

burn away you listen hard

and you'll hear him saying

believe me my children war

but i'm just a soldier

with a lot of dreams to sell

come buy some wishful thinking
