Lyrics English
He is five feet two, and he’s six feet four, he fights with missiles and with spears. he is all of thirty-one, and he’s only seventeen he’s been a soldier for a thousand years. He’s a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist a Jein a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew. And he knows, he shouldn’t kill and he knows he always will kill you for me, my friend, and me for you And he’s fighting for Canada, he’s fighting for France, he’s fighting for the U.S.A. and he’s fighting for the russians, and he’s fighting for Japan and he thinks we put an end to war this way. And he’s fighting for democracy, he’s fighting for the reds, he say 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 wall. And without him how would Hitler, have condemned at Dachau, without him Ceasar would have stood alone. He’s the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war, an without him all this killing can’t go on. He’s the universal soldier, an he really is to blame, his order come from far away no more. They come from here and there, and you and me and brothers, can’t you see, this is not the way we put the end to war.
