SONGS/POEMS

The itinerant spirit of an army life and the singular detachment with which we live everyday is reflected in the following song which is one my favourites. Do you have a poem or a song you want to contribute here that hums the same spirit? Something that makes you yearn for your gypsy days or makes you shed a tear for the ones you left behind or the ones you said goodbye forever...there's always a song somewhere we hum on a rainy day. Which one is yours? Share it with us...

MY FAVOURITE SONG - ABBA'S MOVE ON

They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
A voyager, and a settler, they both have a distant goal.
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside.
Well, it really doesn't matter
As long as I can tell myselfI've always tried.

Like a roller in the ocean,
life 's a motion
Move on
Like a wind that's always blowing
life is flowing
Move on
Like the sunrise in the morning
Life is dawning
Move on
How I treasure every minute
Being part of it, being in it
With the urge to move on

I've travelled every country, I've travelled in my mind
It seems we're on a journey, a trip through space and time
And somewhere lies the answer
To all the questions why
What really makes the difference
Between all dead and living things,
the will to stay alive...

ABBA - MOVE ON
