Enlisted Man Lyrics

John Parr Enlisted Man

Once there was a man
Who believed in something
He could see the truth through lies
Signed the dotted line
In blood for country
Tired of hearin' children cry

And you know it's true
I know he's out there
He'll see it through
To the end

Didn't sign for twenty
Didn't sign for ten
Joined the line with a few good men
He signed their name
To God above
We are enlisted men
Enlisted in love

Once there was a man
Who believed in something
Something that the eyes can't see

And you know it's true
I know he's out there
He'll see it through
To the end

Didn't sign for twenty
Didn't sign for ten
Joined the line with a few good men
He signed his name to God above
Some called him brother
Some called him friend
He knew they'd be there
Right there at the end
They signed their name to God above
We are enlisted men
Enlisted in love

And the fire keeps burnin'
In this crazy world
And you know it's true
I know he's out there
He'll see it through to the end
To the end

Didn't sign for twenty
Didn't sign for ten
Joined the line with a few good men
They signed their name to God above
We are enlisted men
Enlisted in love

Some called him brother
Some called him friend
He knew they'd be there
Right there at the end
They signed their name
To God above
We are enlisted men
Enlisted in love
