Lyrics:

oday you don't have to be a soldier

Don't have to be a soldier, stand down

It's okay to be as you were

Be as you were again

Is it a scheme, is it a vision

Is it a dream, is it a nightmare

Or is it a competition and if it is

What if we don't fight fair?

What's bald in the morning

But in the evening has white hairs?

What's the cause of global warming

And could it be these things right here?

I've got an idea that might not reach

Anyone for another light year

Got a hit-list and a cloud of

Witnesses which is pricier

Well, my tears are mightier

Than my fears so mighty Earth

Provides me hurt that I keep buried

Until I convert it to writing

I was wounded, I was injured

I was made to move to Denver

I was taken through a new adventure

Paint stripped from it's first fixture

I was placed in another picture

I was rushed to a new landscape

And ripped away from family

Scraped into a politician's mistake

And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans

Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged

A world of emotions, a guess that it might be okay

That it could be all right if expressed

Today you don't have to be a soldier

Don't have to be a soldier, stand down

It's okay to be as you were

Be as you were again

Am I a woman raised man-machine

Damaging everything I touch?

By not caring enough

Or too much?

Am I a far flung fantasy

Setting free enmity?

And making friends from enemies

And bridges for the in-betweens

For the highwayman on the low road

The tired back with a large load

The trials spanned till I found hope

And I found more when I slo-mo'ed

Enough of the back to face front

Let those in the pack of the race run

I'm needing an evener pace one

Too hasty makes mistakes

Can you carry a song as strong as your arms

Can bear that you keep from harm?

And it will be there when you go wrong

Make a heart from your bond, your treasure's right here

And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans

Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged

A world of emotions, a guess that it might be okay

That it could be all right if expressed today

Today you don't have to be a soldier

Don't have to be a soldier, stand down

It's okay to be as you were

Be as you were again

Today you don't have to be a soldier

Don't have to be a soldier, stand down

It's okay to be as you were

Be as you were again

Light year is a measurement of distance, not time. :)

This song makes me think of the game "This War Of Mine" even though the latter's more about civilians caught in the crossfire than soldiers dealing with PTSD. Not a perfect fit, but I find it at least strangely somewhat fitting.

Communism was a good fundamental idea executed poorly.Needless to say it's human faults that make communism impossible to execute well.Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

This song isn't about being a soldier or not....it's about people going through hardship.

Errr... yeah... And how many of those Communism (Directly Democratic) succeeded in seizing, thus ruling, thus governing the country of its jurisdiction, well. Any countries governed by Communism (Directly Democratic) still standing today? How are they doing, and what is the price in which they have paid, to ensure this survival? Are they (by social, political, and economical measures) any 'better' than modern day democracy?

he might be a bit of an idiot...my definition of Communism (Directly Democratic) doesn't have that dictatorship "transitional" state that caused so much suffering. don't brand all communism as that ridiculous Stalinist/Maoist/Authoritarian trend.
