Enlisted Man - John Parr

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
