A Few Good Men Lyrics

by Various Artists

HERO:
I always knew this time would come
I've been burning with this mission all my life
Divine adventure has begun
But even now its end is clearly in my sight

This world's become an ugly place
So many races fighting battle toe-to-toe
Their greatest passion is their hate
The new detente is when two brothers come to blows

When was the last time that you cared
Or thought to see the world beyond your nose
I'm here to find a few good men
Who have the heart to follow me where I must go

Let's wrestle hatred to its knees
It's time to put love back up on its weary throne
Let's give the needy what they need
And welcome every soul on earth into our homes

I know you've waited all your lives
For your political messiah to appear
I say don't let these clothes fool you
I'm the one - and you'll believe it in a year
Trust me, you'll believe it in a year

(chorus) Follow me, we'll see the world through heaven's eyes
I will be the truth in the midst of all the lies
Come with me - leave your earthly things behind
I guarantee if you lose your life you'll find it


PETROV:
Is this job paying anything?


HERO:
Oh yeah, you'll be rich down in your soul


PETROV:
'Cause I've worked hard for all I've got
You know I've worked so hard for everything I own


HERO:
There's treasure up in heaven that every man can know
There's freedom from the things of earth
If you can let them go


JUDE:
Let's not be too hasty here
I think we'd better think and think this thing through
Are we talkin' a permanent vacation here
Or can we try it for a week or two


PETROV:
Can't you see, JUDE, he's serious - it's coming clear to me
Just forget about your pocketbook
He wants us to believe
There's something down inside my heart
That tells me what you say is true


PETROV/JUDE:
And if you're the one we've waited for
Then tell us what to do


HERO:

(repeat chorus)

Listen up, my few good men
'Cause destiny awaits us down the road
Stand with me, my few good men
You have the hearts to follow me where I must go
