He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four, He fights with missiles and with spears. He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen, Been a soldier for a thousand years.
He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain, 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 USA, And he's fighting for the Russians, And he's fighting for Japan, And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way.
And 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 wall.
But without him, How would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone, He's the one who gives his body As a weapon of the war, And without him all this killing can't go on.
He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame, His orders 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.
Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya, Give me one more chance to be as near.
The meadows they are bursting the yellow corn is in your hands, and with the night comes sorrow as the tide of dawn slips on the land.
The long breezes are blowing all down the sky into my face, Ive a worried kind of feelin that my time has come and gone to waste.
I love you darling Josie, the trees of pine they grow so tall, how can you come to love me when you didnt love me at all.
Josie,I wont fail ya, I wont fail you have no fear, Josie I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near.
My Josie looks a child now as she lies beyond my breast, in the night I think about her in the day I get no rest.
I cut me a young pine cone And gave it to the river deep, It sailed way by your window where you lay so long in sleep.
God bless you darling Josie with your sparkling eyes so bright and clear, Josie,I wont fail you have no fear, Josie,I wont fail ya Give me one more chance to be as near.
Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing And the leaves dance and play after you Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower Take care with my heart, oh darling, she's made of glass
Your eyes feel like silence resting on me And the birds cease to sing when you rise Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted Take care how you ride, my precious, you might fall down
In the pastel skies a sunset I have wandered With my eyes and ears and heart stRained to the full I know I tasted the essence in the few days Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know
We stood in the windy city, The gypsy boy and I. We slept on the breeze in the midnight With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. We huddled in a derelict building And when he thought I was asleep He laid his poor coat round my shoulder, And shivered there beside me in a heap. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. We sang and cracked the sky with laughter, Our breath turned to mist in the cold. Our years put together count to thirty, But our eyes told the dawn we were old. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done ? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky, Won't you look down what's happening here below? I stand here singing to the flowers, So very few people really know. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun. We stood in the windy city The gypsy boy and I. We slept on the breeze in the midnight, With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes. And who's going to be the one To say it was no good what we done ? I dare a man to say I'm too young, For I'm going to try for the sun.

Sunshine came softly a-through my a-window today Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways It'll take time, I know it but in a while You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style 'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now Any trick in the book a-now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' a-just to have a little scene When I say we'll be cool, I think that you know what I mean We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when? I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind 'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine I'll tell you right now Any trick in the book a-now, baby, that I can find
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yep A-you you you can just sit there while thinking on your velvet throne 'Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own When you’ve made your mind up, forever to be mine
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind When you’ve made your mind up, forever to be mine I’ll pick up your hand, I’ll pick up your hand
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep I opened my eyes to take a peek To find that I was by the sea Gazing with tranquility
