Lyrics Ben Harper – I Ride At Dawn
Text:
Like my father
And his father, and his father before
Watch the soil burn in the fire
War after war
For the common good
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Give a man a hundred years
And he’ll want a hundred more
Give him a hundred choices
And he still chooses war
From Salem Poor to Genghis Khan
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
I was born for battle
I was born to bleed
I was born to help those who have dreams of being free
Brother stop your crying, sister dry your eyes
You’ll hear my medals ringing from Shreveport to Shabagan
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
At first light, I march to battle
Not my own life, but brothers’ I must save
And when you hear those pipes and drummers
You’ll know I marched to glory or proudly to my grave
Tell my loved ones they must carry on
For tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tomorrow I ride at dawn
Tell my loved ones they must carry on
For tomorrow I ride at dawn
