I've lost the use of my heart But I'm still alive Still looking for the life The endless pool on the other side It's a wild wild west I'm doing my best I'm at the borderline of my faith, I'm at the hinterland of my devotion In the front line of this battle of mine But I'm still alive I'm a soldier of love. Every day and night I'm a soldier of love All the days of my life I've been torn up inside (oh!) I've been left behind (oh!) So I ride I have the will to survive In the wild wild west, Trying my hardest Doing my best To stay alive I am love's soldier! I wait for the sound (oh oh) I know that love will come (that love will come) Turn it all around I'm a soldier of love (soldier of love) Every day and night I'm a soldier of love All the days of my life I have lost but I don't doubt So I ride, I have the will to survive In the wild wild west, Trying my hardest Doing my best To stay alive I am love's soldier! I wait for the sound I know that love will come I know that love will come Turn it all around I'm a soldier of love I'm a soldier Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wiat for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come Turning all around I'm a soldier of love I'm a soldier Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come Turning all around Still wait for love to come
