She can be anywhere she wants to be tonight
In the arms of another man I know
But that won't bring me down on the night I've got tonight
There's nothing there, can you understand at all???
Cause I can sleep without you...
I've got no reason to doubt it
I can't live without it
I ain't in no big hurry
My life ain't filled with worries
Lots of men tie themselves in knots all over you
That's something I promised myself I'd never ever do
Cause life's too short to go on living with this sin
Cause I saw a pretty face and you know I

Our little Army Boy,
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.
Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder,
Four men in uniform to carry home
My little soldier.
Chorus
What could he do? Should have been a rock star.
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
What could he do? Should have been a politician,
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do? Should have been a father,
But he didn't even make it to his twenties.
What a waste,
Army Dreamers.
Tears o'er a tin box.

(Verse 1)
Here we are gathered once again under Your Name
Thinking of ways we all have caused You shame
But we can find consolation in the things that You said
We are all bound in our hearts by a common thread
We look to You who made us one
To give us strength and bring our hearts back to where we've begun
(Chorus)
So together we hold all our hearts out to You
And we all can believe You know just what to do
Heal and forgive us, make us all just like new
Jesus, we hold our hearts out to You
Jesus, we hold our hearts out to You
(Verse 2)
Sometime
