They say the bleeding kills
But people will argue
It is the bullet that kills
So
They say the bullet kills
But people will argue
It is the gun that kills
So
They say the gun kills
But people will argue
It is the man who pulls the trigger that kills
So
They say it is the man who pulls the trigger that kills
And people will say
That man is a murderer, he kills
So
The people will protest, he kills
The politicians will agree
The policeman will arrest him, he kills
But people forget
The soldier fights for the people's rights to protest
The soldier fights under the orders of politicians to go to war
The soldier fights for the policeman's rights to arrest him
And so much more
So
You see a killer, I see someone defending their nation
You see a murderer, I see a hero
You see a man who should be put behind bars because he killed?
I see a man who did what no one else had it in them to do
Sometimes
Wrong and right isn't like black and white
Wrong and right isn't like sweet and sour
Wrong and right isn't like hot and cold
Sometimes,
There's a grey area
There's a blur area
There's right in the wrong
Sometimes
You gotta do the wrong to do the right
But the minute you do the wrong
All people see is the wrong
Even if it's for the right
That's our society today
They want the right
But they won't do the wrong
Maybe you’re not the literal soldier
Maybe you’re not bearing arms
Maybe you’re not killing people
Sometimes
You gotta do the wrong to do the right
You’ll be criticized
You’ll be judged
You’ll be hated
But deep down
You did what so many others didn’t have it in them to do
You stood up for what you believed in
You fought for your rights
And that
Makes you a soldier as well
