Now, I know who the soldiers are
And where the barrack is
So many soldiers come and go
And only the barrack remains
Yes, the barrack remains - but not the same
But all the soldiers come for one purpose
Yet their intentions might not be the same.
And this one soldier came
He stayed for many years, while others come and go
He suddendly became a general
In this single barrack
That has thrown many soldiers off the coast.
He loved the barrack and took her to heart
And the barrack began to change
She became admirable to other soldiers who had gone.
And the barrack itself started to chage
She called for other soldiers who wanted to cross
Yet she did not want the general to leave
They had grown accustomed to each other.
The general to the barrack
And the barrack to the soldier
And years grew with them.
Then the barrack became more fortified
And she began to sing to the general's soul
'Soldier go, soldier come. The barrack remains the same'
Then the general packed and left
He became another soldier
Who had come and gone
But the barrack walls fell
Her fortifications shattered to the grounds.
And she called out to the soldier
Pleading that only him can make her the same.
The soldier loves the barrack still
For there lies his home.
