King & Country
Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees
And I'll try so very hard, to get you through
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night
If I gave up the cause, what would you give me
To make up for all the things that I would lose
If I lay down my life, for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night
Well, you better get busy, get it over and done
I was here when you arrived, I'll be here when you're gone
If I lay down my life for my king and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be never like people
Afraid of the night
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
