Lyrics
Urban Soldier
He started out like everyone
Raised on love, having fun
And no one could disturb his piece of mind
He thought his future would be so clear
A guiding call for all to hear
A textbook life to all but the blind
And we all know that the cracks will show X 2
With the truth held like a gun
The brightest spark, never dumb
A cause to celebrate what’s in our hearts
He’d cut you down, run you through
With words of hope ringing true
We hoped that he would never fall apart
But we all know that the cracks will show X 2
And with a band of likely souls
He set to right the wrongs of old
Confront what he saw as the untouched few
To climb the walls of their defence
He went to give them recompense
A cunning ploy to see what they would do
Face to face he raised his hand
And said ‘ why don’t you understand.
Only one chance left to save the weak’
All they did was sit and joke
About a world that has no hope
And only then did one stand up to speak
He said
‘We all know where the cracks do show
And fast or slow, it will eat your soul’
‘Do you think that we don’t care
we’ve tried our best but to despair
now you think you know what we should do’
‘Tell us how to make them see,
All of us humanity
Can you tell the lies from what is true
Because
We all know that it’s hard to tell
And we all know that the cracks will show
Standing tall our hero cries
‘You don’t have to be that wise
All you have to do is feel this love.
There’s more to life than you can see
\How could all this come be
Without a reason, a mission from above
We all know that the time has come
We all know that the love can flow
He started out like everyone
Raised on love, having fun
And no one could disturb his piece of mind
He thought his future would be so clear
A guiding call for all to hear
A textbook life to all but the blind
And we all know that the cracks will show X 2
With the truth held like a gun
The brightest spark, never dumb
A cause to celebrate what’s in our hearts
He’d cut you down, run you through
With words of hope ringing true
We hoped that he would never fall apart
But we all know that the cracks will show X 2
And with a band of likely souls
He set to right the wrongs of old
Confront what he saw as the untouched few
To climb the walls of their defence
He went to give them recompense
A cunning ploy to see what they would do
Face to face he raised his hand
And said ‘ why don’t you understand.
Only one chance left to save the weak’
All they did was sit and joke
About a world that has no hope
And only then did one stand up to speak
He said
‘We all know where the cracks do show
And fast or slow, it will eat your soul’
‘Do you think that we don’t care
we’ve tried our best but to despair
now you think you know what we should do’
‘Tell us how to make them see,
All of us humanity
Can you tell the lies from what is true
Because
We all know that it’s hard to tell
And we all know that the cracks will show
Standing tall our hero cries
‘You don’t have to be that wise
All you have to do is feel this love.
There’s more to life than you can see
\How could all this come be
Without a reason, a mission from above
We all know that the time has come
We all know that the love can flow

Realy nice song... litle Irisch Pub song alike ;-)
God compsition over all and a nice voice but the singing
feels a bit compressed, but it can be my speakers.
I downloaded and getting a beer and listen again.
