Carl Klang - I am the Unknown Soldier текст песни

I am the unknown soldier
Some call me MIA
Some say I can't go home again
Some say I chose to stay
I am the unknown soldier
Who you refuse to know
A brother and a friend of yours
Who left so long ago
Some call me POW
The one they left behind
I am the unknown soldier
The one they never tried to find
I'm the one they never tried to find

I'm a farmer from Missouri
The soldier from St. Paul
I was the hero of my family
And still my pictures upon their wall
I'm a poet and a scholar
And the boy who lived next door
I am the unknown soldier
Forgotten on a foreign shore
Long forgotten on a foreign shore

I was someone's lovin' daddy
I was someone's pride and joy
I was someone's tender lover
A worried Mama's little boy
And if you should just forget me here
Then should I forget you too
Please won't you try to bring me home
For I'm someone who belongs to you
I'm still someone who belongs to you

I am the unknown soldier
With no more tears to shed
I'm just a fading memory
A part of the living dead
My country has betrayed me
Yet I have forgiven you
And every night I pray to God
That somehow he'll forgive you too
Yes even somehow he'll forgive you too

I am the unknown soldier
The one for whom you cried
That familiar face that you can't face
The one your country told you died
I am the unknown soldier
With dreams you'll rescue me
And I am a man who understand
Only death might ever set me free
Only death might ever set me free

I am the unknown soldier
And I'm black and blue and gray
I said I am the unknown soldier
And I die slowly every day
And I'm tired and I'm hungry
And I'm lonely and I'm cold
I am the unknown soldier
The one you bought and sold
I'm the one you bought and sold

So lay down close beside me now
And gently stroke my face
And wrap your arms around me now
Before we leave this place
Some called me POW
Some called me MIA
Some say I can't come home again
But I will return someday
