Helen Baylor Another Soldier Down Lyrics

Hey, mmm...
Mm-hmm

It was really good to see you
On the red-eye last night
I didn't want to bother you
So, I waited 'til the time was right
Blew you a kiss hello
And mouthed the words, "I love you"
But when you acted like you didn't know me
I thought my heart would break in two
Yeah, yeah
You were such a warrior
As we fought side by side, mmm...
Steady moving up the ranks
I bragged about you all the time, yes, I did
Everybody's hero
But you gave up the fight
Now what I see is another soldier down

Another soldier down, yeah
Needing us to pray
Instead of talking up the situation
And looking the other way
Another soldier down
Someone we can't afford to lose
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down

I think about you, yeah, yeah
Every now and then, mmm...
Then I take a little time to pray
I have faith you're gonna win, oh...
Somebody prayed for me
In my darkest hour
I used to be another soldier down, yeah

Another soldier down
(Another soldier down, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Needing us to pray
Instead of talking up the situation
(Yeah, yeah)
And looking the other way
Another soldier down
Someone we can't afford to lose
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down, yeah
When the journey is hard
It's so easy to stray
'Cause the pull of the world can draw us
We just got to pray
And even if you fall
A good soldier gets up again
And I'll be here for you
My brother, my friend

Another soldier down
Needing us to pray
Instead of talking up the situation And looking the other way
Another soldier down, yeah, yeah
Someone we can't afford to lose
Let's take a vow, yeah
Not to let another soldier down
Yeah, yeah, let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down

Another soldier down
Needing us to pray
Instead of talking up the situation
And looking the other way
Another soldier down
(Another soldier down, yeah)
Someone we can't afford to lose
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down, no
Another soldier down
(Somebody help, yeah, somebody)
Needing us to pray, well
Instead of talking up the situation
(No, no)
And looking the other way
Another soldier down
(Oh, no)
Someone we can't afford to lose
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down, yeah
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down

Another soldier down
(Ooh-ooh...)
Needing us to pray
Instead of talking up the situation
And looking the other way
Another soldier down
(Another soldier down, well, well, well)
Someone we can't afford to lose
Let's take a vow
(Let's not let another solider down)
Not to let another soldier down
(Oh, come on)

Another soldier down
(Everybody pray, everybody pray)
Needing us to pray, yeah
Instead of talking up the situation
Well, and looking the other way
Another soldier down
(Oh, no, oh, no, no)
Someone we can't afford to lose
(Ooh-ooh...)
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's take a vow
Not to let another soldier down...
