Soldier After All

Maybe I won't make much of a difference

And all I do won't make a hill of beans

I can't bestow riches on my children

Unless I can show what love and kindness mean

If you believe what's right is right

Then you will always have to fight

I guess I am a soldier after all

I guess I am a soldier after all

So I go to work every morning

Knowing I will never have it made

Some months I go paycheck to pawnshop

I wish I could say at least then the bills are paid

It takes care to keep what you hold precious

There isn't much of which you can be sure

And if you want some changes for the better

Then you will have to fight even more

'Cause it's a world

Where you're still judged by your cover

The money you don't make, your skin, your lover

Your lover

So maybe I won't make much of a difference

But that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna try

Cause every day you love someone is better

And I'm not gonna let that chance pass me by

No I'm not gonna let that chance pass me by

If you believe what's right

Then you will always have to fight

I guess I am a soldier after all

I guess I am a soldier after all
