Soldiers Far from Home
Roots reggae song with a steady, marching groove: an organ and synth hook, a skanking guitar, deep bass and a wordless chanted hook, with a proud male lead and a chanting chorus. Proud and reflective, sung in English, about brave soldiers taken far from home who fought to survive.

Lyrics
They pulled them from the island breezeAcross the rough and salty seasTo lands where winter stays too longBut in their hearts, a Zion songFar from the soil where they were bornInto the heat, into the stormSmall photos tucked inside their vestA heavy weight upon the chestBrave soldiers marching onWalking through the dark until the dawnStanding tall, staying strongBrave soldiers marching onAway from home, they found a wayTo face the trials of the dayStanding tall, staying strongBrave soldiers marching onIn trenches deep and valleys wideWith nowhere left for them to hideThey shared a crust of dry black breadAnd kept the ancient wisdom fedThinking of mothers, thinking of wivesFighting for more than just their livesA brotherhood in a foreign landHolding the line, hand in handBrave soldiers marching onWalking through the dark until the dawnStanding tall, staying strongBrave soldiers marching onAway from home, they found a wayTo face the trials of the dayStanding tall, staying strongBrave soldiers marching onThe drums of war can't drown the soulIntegrity will make them wholeThough they were taken far awayThe spirit lives in them todayReturn to the roots, return to the lightAfter the long and weary nightBrave soldiers marching onWalking through the dark until the dawnStanding tall, staying strongBrave soldiers marching onAway from home, they found a wayTo face the trials of the dayStanding tall, staying strongBrave soldiers marching on
