A            D                A                   E
Oh no, don't cry, its in your heart, so dry those eyes, keep holding
A                D          E          A          D

There's been many reasons for a while to sit and cry but now I know they're coming to an end.
          A                              D                           A                E             A
I've been fighting on the front lines, a soldier for the good times, fighting for the freedom of my friends.


[Verse 2]
   A                              D                          A                                     E
My hands have felt suppression, a life of toil and blood, my heart has heard the soul cries of the poor.
    A                                 D                               A                E              A
But now I'm coming home again and I'm never going away, my friend,I'm going to hold my head high ever more!


[Chorus]
          A            D                A                   E

A                D          E          A          D     A       E
on for your dear life, be a soldier of hope!

  A                      D                         A                           E
I hung up emotions for a campaign of the heart but finally my heart has led me home.
  A                                 D                            A               E            A
I leave the brutal truth behind and follow with a lighter mind,a man of hope and glory I've become.


[Chorus]
          A            D                A                   E
So I Say: oh no, don't cry, its in your heart, so dry those eyes, keep holding
A                D          E          A          D
on for your dear life, be a soldier of hope!


[Chorus]
           A            D                A                   E
Oh, I Say: oh no, don't cry, its in your heart, so dry those eyes, keep holding
