Brooke Miller Two Soldiers Lyrics

Two Soldiers Lyrics

I had first realized the shape I was in

After six years in uniform, in the standing din

I signed in at eighteen for a college degree

Recruiting out of high school into opportunity



I'd always equated my love for my land

With the loyalty of the army but now I understand

I'm from a small town, I knew quiet streets

There was a market where people often meet



I built my home there, me and my family

These are the loneliest days I've seen

My soldiers are marching according to rank

They have occupied the borderlines outside the West Bank



I'm relieving my attention on a bloody red machine

A conscientious citizen for the democratic regime

This kind of struggle's not one to go alone

So I'm joining the opposition but I'm never going home



I'm from a small town, no cause and no elites

There was a market where people often meet

I remember loved ones but I don't remember peace

These are the loneliest days I've seen
