He’s 5 foot 2 and he’s 6 feet 4

And he fights with missiles and with spears

He’s all of 31 and he’s only 17.

And he’s been a soldier for a thousand years



He’s a catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jane

A boarders, a Baptist and Jew.

And he knows he shouldn’t ‘ve killed

And he knows he always will kill

You’ll for me my freidn and me for you



He’s fighting for Canada.

He’s fighting for France.

He’s fighting for the USA.

And he’s fighting for the Russians.

And he’s fighting for Japan

And he thinks we’ll brought an end to war this way.



He’s fighting for democracy,

he’s fighting for the reds

He says it’s for the peace of all.

He’s the one, who must decide,

who’s to live and who’s to die.

And he never sees the writing on the walls.



But without him,

how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau?

Without him Caesar would have stood alone

He’s the one who gives is body

as a weapon to the war.

And without him all this killing can’t go on



He’s the universal soldier

And he really is the blame

But his orders comes from

far away no more.



They come from him.

And you and me.

Oh, brothers can’t you see.

This is not the way we put an end to war
