And all I know is I don't want to go to hell
And peace and love and freedom are worth a bullet welt
I learned this from my father who lived and who fell
He once took the oath before his flag and knelt
He died in the war and no remorse was felt
[Chorus]x2
Greetings good stranger you seem very kind
But I have learned from the soldier's plight
Righteous thoughts are needed for living righteous lives
This I can be sure of I hope you'll see the light
Jhameel released Soldier’s Daughter on Sat Jan 01 2011.
