[Verse 1]
I memorize, I walk in line
I carry my sacrifice for the sake of the millions
All night you be the light on the water
You be the pride and the sorrow
Shower your love to me there

[Verse 2]
Summer dies before the rain
Unify every soul, together be lonely
Ride on, follow me to the sunrise
Save me the world that is broken
Nothing but love to be there

[Chorus]
Soldiers, father and son, we're soldiers, nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin' for
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child, we're soldiers, the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall

[Verse 3]
Never mind, dry your eyes
You never be far away, forever beside me
Hold out, I will be your tomorrow
I will walk through the fire
Nothing but love to be there

[Chorus]
Soldiers, father and son, we're soldiers, nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin' for
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child, we're soldiers, the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall

[Bridge]
I'm a little misunderstood
Living all the daydreams and nightmares
Don't do me no good
I'm a little bit on the moon
But when the word is - you love me
No moment is too soon

[Release]
All night give me the light on the water
Give me the pride and the sorrow
Showing your love to me there

[Chorus]
Soldiers, father and son, we're soldiers, nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin' for
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child, we're soldiers, the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall

[Chorus / Outro] (x3)
Soldiers, father and son, we're soldiers, nowhere to run
We fight or we die
For what are we livin' for
Boys never cry
Soldiers, mother and child, we're soldiers, the meek and the mild
We stand or we fall
For what are we livin' for
Boys never cry

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
