The Soldier & The Boy ((9-1-2016) [Live in Madison])歌词

I heard the story of the soldier and the boy
Not too long ago, there was a soldier in Afghanistan
And he's about 6 months into his campaign
And he's really struggling
He's in and out of combat every day
He was drinking a lot
And he keeps hearing from these towns people
That there's this boy
There's this magical boy
And he's, he's meditating under a tree
And most of the time he hears it, he says
"Ah, that's a bunch of ********."
But one night, he's especially missing home
And he's drinking, and he thinks,
"I'm gonna go find this ******* boy under the tree."
So he climbs up the mountain, and sure enough
There's a little kid, maybe 10 or 11 years old
And he's sitting under the tree cross-legged
With his eyes closed
And the soldier says, "Hello." The boy doesn't move.
The solider starts to get mad
He said, "You don't know
If you know so much, teach me about Heaven and Hell."
The boy opens his eyes slowly
And he says "You want me to teach you about Heaven and Hell?
Look at you
You smell bad. You're not a real soldier.
You got dip in your mouth
You reek of alcohol, you're drunk
I can't teach you about Heaven and Hell
And the soldier's getting madder and madder.
The veins in his neck are starting to poke out
He takes his revolver out
And points it at the boy's head
And the boy says, "That's Hell."
The soldier realizes this boy has just sacrificed his life
He put it on the line to teach him
He puts the gun down and starts to cry
And the boy says, "That's Heaven."
