  • Be a Soldier

    Be a Soldier

    Lance Appleton
    Key:[Fm]


    Got to be a soldier the rest of my days
    Got to be a soldier that’s what I say
    Nobody wants to be a soldier anymore
    Everybody just wants to be free
    I tell you what we ain’t ever won a war with just 
    Peace talks with the enemy

    Got to be a soldier the rest of my days
    Got to be a soldier that’s what I say
    Nobody wants to be a farmer anymore
    But everybody likes to eat
    Gonna take more than just a check in the mail
    For a man to stand on his own two feet
    Got to be a farmer the rest of my days
    Got to be a farmer that’s what I say

    Soldier, Farmer, Soldier, Farmer, Soldier

    Got to be a soldier the rest of my days
    Got to be a soldier that’s what I say
    Nobody wants to be a farmer anymore
    They all moved to the city
    Thinking that their gonna get rich quick
    Listen it’s such a pity
    Nobody wants to work in the fields 
    But everybody likes to eat
    Gonna take more than just a check in the mail
    For a man to stand on his own two feet

  • On a white stone

    On A White Stone

    Words and Music by: Lance Appleton

     

    He that hath an ear let him hear
    what the Spirit’s saying to the churches
    He that hath an ear let him hear
    what the Spirit’s saying to the churches
    to him that overcomes and keeps my works unto the end
    to him will I give power over the nations
    I will give him the morning star
    I will give him the morning star

    You will be feasting on the tree of life
    In the paradise of God
    safe where the second death can not hurt you
    where the manna is hidden I’ll give you a name
    I shall be yours alone
    and it shall be written on a white stone
    on a white stone, on a white stone
    and I will give you the morning star

  • He that dwelleth in the secret place – words and music by: Lance Appleton

    One of the first songs I learned to play on the guitar.  I love this version because my (then one year old) son Ian can be heard walking in on our recording session.  Such great memories here!
