Passionate Soldier
Tell you what he saw
Passionate Soldier bleeding money
Tell you what he believes in
And all of the people
He left behind
Passionate Soldier tells you what he believes in
Passionate Soldier tells you what he saw
What he got into and
All of the people
He left behind
Or who stayed of their own volition
Gassed from carrying someone else's expectations
About the look of dreams drippin' down the inside of some straw hut
Dreams drippin' down
The consistency of grits
That is one way how to put an end on it
Passionate soldier
Gonna tell you all about it
