Lyrics
Battle Cry
Music and Words by: Daniel R. Pearson
Verse 1
A star shines out in the dark
It?s just a dream to me, a dim reality
A soldier in the night, waiting for the call and for us to lift him up
Chorus
I can?t tell you how we?ve been
Living life with the shade of hopes and dreams
But I can tell you what I?ve seen
Too many people giving up on their beliefs
We?ve got to stick together, to be free.
Verse 2
Another night out in the dust
A soldier whispers out his name
But he doesn?t feel the same
If only he could know that the folks in his home town clearly love him so
Chorus
I can?t tell you how we?ve been
Living life with the shade of hopes and dreams
But I can tell you what I?ve seen
Too many people giving up on their beliefs
We?ve got to stick together, to be free.
Bridge
It?s time show, that we love them so
If we give in, we give up
On that dream
Chorus
I can?t tell you how we?ve been
Living life with the shade of hopes and dreams
But I can tell you what I?ve seen
Too many people giving up on their beliefs
We?ve got to stick together, to be free.
