Lyrics
Michael could you tell me? what a soldier dreams?
Newsmen say war?s evil? don?t know what they mean?
Tommy I am your brother? and that will never change
Seen the eyes of a devil? But I?m still the same
So I take great pride in what I do
Heaven knows I?m no different from you
I?m not a life-taker at heart
I protect against those who are?
I?m not a life-taker at heart
Even though my enemies are?
Give me your hand and I?ll lift you up
Show me a gun and I?ll do my part?
But I?m not a life-taker at heart
I?m not a life-taker
Michael please forgive me? cause I feel ashamed
When I heard them talking? I ignored your name
Tommy don?t you worry? about the lies they speak
I?ll defend their liberties? and shield the weak
So I take great pride in what I do
Heaven knows I?m no different from you
I?m not a life-taker at heart
I protect against those who are?
I?m not a life-taker at heart
Even though my enemies are?
Give me your hand and I?ll lift you up
Show me a gun and I?ll do my part?
But I?m not a life-taker at heart
I?m not a life-taker
I?m not a life-taker
I?m not a life-taker
