The park was a cathedral as we praised for his songs And the contributions made to one and all And we lit a thousand candles and sang his very best And wept to see the greatness of him fall
Then all at once I looked around, recognized my friends The ones I used to stand with long ago And I wondered through my tears where we've been all these years And how we ever grew so far apart I swear I'll never know
'Cause we were soldiers of the heart Fit together hand in glove Marching in the name of heaven For a world of peace and love Just because we're older now Doesn't mean we lost the fight I can feel it in the air tonight We'll be soldiers of the heart 'Til we fill this world with light
And we held each other tightly as we swayed beneath the sky And I felt the pain inside begin to free And I thought if all this planet could just hold each other once What release and revelation there would be
So I thank you all you dreamers for allowing us this time To remember who we are and what we're for For we stand again together with a power that's been renewed Ain't nothing, nobody's gonna shake us anymore
'Cause we were soldiers of the heart Fit together hand in glove Marching in the name of heaven For a world of peace and love Just because we're older now Doesn't mean we lost the fight I can feel it in the air. . .
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
Marching in the name of heaven For a world of peace and love Just because we're older now Doesn't mean we lost the fight I can feel it in the air tonight We'll be soldiers of the heart 'Til we fill this world with light
