Lyrics
They say that a good soldier Never says a word
He follows orders silently I've heard
But listening to the people here
The grieving and betrayed
I hear my soldier calling From the grave
"I Still Live in the justice that you fight for
"I Still Live through the courage in your heart
"I Live in your strong united stand
Calling for the leaders of the land
I Still Live"
They say that a good soldier
Keeps his whereabouts unknown
Which enemies alert and on the prowl
But looking at the people here
Friends of justice all around
It's obvious he's here with us
Standing proud
"I Still Live in the justice that you fight for
"I Still Live through the courage in your heart
"I Live through your words and in your deeds
Calling for the truth
Which we so badly need
There's no end to me or you
We live forever
And he lives in us
Strong as ever
Still alive
"I Still Live in the justice that you fight for
"I Still Live through the courage in your heart
"I Live in your strong united stand
Calling for the leaders
The leaders of this land
"I Still Live
And I live forever
I Still live
Right here next to you
I ain't going away
I am here to stay yeah
Because of you
And what you do
I Still Live"
