								Soldiers' Dream |  |  |  
					| We sleep in the arms of history.
 
 We hear a voice
 calling.
 
 We smile
 and restlessly walk away from the rest
 of our life...
 
 walkin' toward the old dream
 
 of Mexico...,
 
 My Brothers and I.
 
 The Eagle sits upon the Rock
 and speaks of canyons...
 
 speaks of home.
 
 The Eagle knows what it is
 to be alone
