Kris Kristofferson - What About Me текст песни

I seen another soldier who got wasted in the war

He said he left his soul there overseas

The notion he defended doesnt matter anymore

And circumstance had brought him to his knees

We sat there in the silence of a cold and empty room

Down the hall I heard a baby cry

He looked up from the potion he was cooking in a spoon

And nailed me with the anger in his eye

Chorus:

He said, do you really believe in freedom ?

I said, I do

He said, oh, what about me ?

They killed both of her parents in an undercover war

For wanting all their children to be free

She said, its even sadder that its in el salvador

They named it for the savior dont you see

Suddenly the truth was like a blinding flash of light

Holy thunder rolled across the sky

I stared into the wonder of the warrior jesus christ

And destiny was burning in his eyes.

Chorus:

He said, do you really believe in freedom ?

I said, I do

He said, oh, what about me ?

And the sandinista said, do you really believe in freedom ?

I said, I do

He said, oh, what about me ?
