Well a soldier lay down on the hilltop Over there where it's sunny and blue All the troops have gone home And left him alone Commanding a beautiful view And he dreams of the girl that he loved once How he told her that they'd never part Of a picture he brought into battle A picture kept close to his heart And the soul goes on forever Love is stronger than time All broken men Will be happy again Forever Forever light will shine All his medals they turned into flowers And his clothes, slowly to dust And the rifle he wore on his shoulder so proud Is nothing but rust And his tears ran down to the river And the river ran down to the sea And the sea turned into an ocean And the ocean is you and me And the soul goes on forever Love is stronger than time All broken men Will be happy again Forever Forever light will shine And the soul goes on forever Love is stronger than time All broken men Will be happy again Forever Forever light will shine
