Unknown Soldier Lyrics

Roger Chapman Unknown Soldier

Sailing downstream – fishing shack forever crying tough

Like Jesus tried to walk on water really did his stuff

Then upped one day & said –

I’ll head where angels fear to tread



Made good his dreams of halls & kings meeting movie queens

Visiting his mama in a cold green limousine

Then desperately he cried

I’ll try where eagles dare to fly



There’s a light in every window

A key for every door

A bridge on every rainbow

I can’t get to heaven no more



He took the hand of Scheherazade & pinnacled the heights

Of powdered nose & panty hose

& old Arabian nights

Then was heard a scream – I dream what even god’s ain’t seen



He took the wings from Gabriel’s shoulders

& the glint from the eagles eyes

The fearlessness of the unknown shoulder

That he knew would get him by
