You wrote those words three- decades ago. This has always been my very favorite song. I played it and sang it often. Looking back the song was just really beautiful. The music was unlike any other. Decades later the song holds a new meaning, with a loss of innocense. It's a more haunting piece, and I sing it this way. 🎼🩷
And it was released twice as a single. The first time in 1988 as the second single from Wide Awake in Dreamland, then again in North America with the compilation album Best shots. It really is a beautiful song.
That man can be Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mother Theresa or a million more without a known name, the ones that make this world a little worth living. One of the best of Pat Benatar.
It doesn't fit the "rocker chick" image she had in the 70s and 80s. She was probably 35 or so when this came out, and had kids in school. "Rocker chick" was losing credibility I imagine. In fact, her next album, which bombed, was jump blues. Too bad, her voice was angelic at times in this one.
In 1998, I was working in Milwaukee, and I knew she was going to be playing in La Crosse, some 300+ miles away! All day I was contemplating driving to see her, and finally, I told my boss I had to go. So off I went to La Crosse, speeding like a mad man, not knowing if I could even get a ticket. Luckily, I was able to get a good ticket, and watched the end of Loverboy's set. Midway through Pat's set, she sang this song, and at the end where she "OH's", her voice hit such high notes that my hair stood on end. That had never happened to before, or since. It was worth every mile, including the drive back. About 700 miles total. Hey, if you need your Pat fix- just saying!
Totally agree with you, I wish I could have gone in a concert back in the day. She came to Calgary Alberta and never saw her live and man... what a show!! The only thing I didn't like big time was that she missed this song in her set but all songs were 101% incredible SHE IS AMAZING her voice is worth of big praise and accolades beyond crap of these times! Lucky you!!!
Exceptional song! It Don't understand how this song didn't get the "Attention and Vast Listening it calls for." Big fan for many years. Her songs sound better each time I listen! Incredible . . . Incredible . . . What more can I say!
The song is Rastafarian. The person mentioned is likely Haile Selassie, whom the Rastafarians variously believe is either the return of Jesus to earth or the incarnation of their god, Jah.
Wasn't thinking or going in this direction listening to Pat's greatest hits, but it struck me when I heard this song that taken a different way, a beautiful song about Jesus and one love of God. Really felt it was an "undiscovered masterpiece"! Like she said, this song goes on with me forever....
Great music was on its way out and crap was beginning to creep in as the decade of the 80s died out. This is why this great song and album did not make much noise.
Once there was a man, and he lived to sing the lions song As he traveled on the road of hope One love is the light, shining over every mountaintop It will lead us to the higher ground One day every heart will beat strong against the night Let it be done right now Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love And his song became the golden dream One love is the light, shining over everyone that believes It will lead us to the higher ground One day every eye will see truth before the light Let it be done right now Some wait, so long Because our love is strong This hard road traveled on Will lead us home, forever Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind Yeah he's gone unto his father's land Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts Colors woven in the golden dream One day every eye will see truth before the light Let it be done right now One day every voice will speak strong against the night Let us be one right now So let it be We are the children of a thousand days We are the people of the hard rain We are the children of a thousand days We are the people of the hard rain We are the people of the hard rain
The world and people deserve more music like this. I have been a fan of Pat Benatar since 1979 and am very grateful for all the great albums they have given us.
This is an incredible song that should only be played as loud as can be tolerated on a surround sound system. Amazing that it never charted here in the US, but did manage to climb to #59 in the UK.
US radio stations? No worries, the women in my family gave me this superb exposure, regardless. I thank them, am so affected and better for it. Taught me much.
@@davidbrown4449 , Oof, what's *_that_* SACD price trending at nowadays? I almost forgot about that technology and, my oh my, how some of its collector-level pricing has gone *_crazy_* !! At first blush, not enough selection for me at reasonable prices for me to rationalize.
Agreed (on my 2.1 setup with 8-inch mains and a hefty subwoofer get the job done respectably in its space ) ... 'Cause, when I jam to Benatar, so do my nearby neighbors! 🥴😁😉 "Le bel age" , "One Love (Lion Song)" and "All Fired Up" but a few ! 👍
This song and Hell is For Children are my two all-time favorite songs. I like the comment that said she still has the golden pipes. It's true she still does. Greatest singer ever. oxoxox
This song , it touches my soul, thought I could never shed tears from any song, this one brings out that in me, im for ever indebted to Benatar, and of course her husband and crew, thank you Pat,
Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and [break] its seven seals. Rev, 5:5 It is Christ our Redeemer !!!
I agree... I've always thought this was her finest work. The entire album was fantastic, but this song is an all time classic. Amazing, along with Anne Wilson she 's still got just about the best set of pipes in pop/rock music.
Pat Benetar's music moves me in a way that no other female vocalist's ever has. She is magnificent and has led an exemplary life. She lives the way she sings, with class and elegance and humility. She is about the most admirable female rock vocalist to have ever graced a stage or a studio.
Memories from my childhood...It was out long before I was born which was in 1999... I one day found this best shots album my mom had..I played it and played the hell out of it 😆. So whenever I hear this song and shadows of the night it instantly brings back the memories of being a child and living the best life ❤️ Those were the days
Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love And his song became the golden dream One love is the light, shining over everyone that believes It will lead us to the higher ground One day every eye will see truth before the light Let it be done right now....
Mrs. Benatar has been my favorite female vocalist for well over 20 years. I remember trying to belt out tunes like she did. I have never seen her in concert and want to kick myself in the butt for never doing so. She is an amazing performer. Hopefully I will get to see her some day.
I cant thank my Mum enough for bringing me up with fantastic music!! we adore Pat Benatar! our song is Love is a Battlefield!! Thank you Mummy!! you have made my life so much better!! I miss this originality of music, no half nakedness just pure talent!!
This song is so incredible. When I listen to it, I feel the blood racing through my veins, breathe deeply, feel the delicious electricity of life... We are One, interdependent, interconnected, all life is sacred... I want to dance, I want to LIVE!
Music and a song can be so many different things to so many different people, but I must say (as I've said before elsewhere) that I was listening to the whole album and while I know this song was written about Bob Marley (One Love), and I wasn't looking for a spiritual reaction, I felt the words to this song the same way others have. It resonated in me that she was singing about the one ultimate heavenly love. A gift any way you take it, thanks to you both Pat and Neil.
This song became ever so much more powerful for me as a Soldier staioned in the Sinai Peninsula over in Egypt. We were exercising the 1979 peace treaty in the tiny hamlet of Neueva about half way up the coast of the Gulf of Aquaba. It made me think of so much out on patrol.
***** Sorry it's taken me a bit to reply to you... I have a wacky schedule and lots of extra-curricular activities out building and upgrading firing ranges for the Army. As far as the song you mention "Too Long a Soldier", eh, I can't feel one way or the other about it really. I don't feel it relates a whole lot to how I served. Yes, I've seen man's cruelty to man. I've dealt some of it out to some people who (I feel) desperately needed it. I feel no remorse for any of the sharper things I've done in the service of my country (and the people of this world, for that matter). I've done what I have done in the defense of innocent people no matter where my travels (or my government) have taken me. I feel that I have fulfilled the oath of protection that I swore to faithfully, and honourably. I have defended the defenseless and rendered what aid I had to give to those who needed it whether they asked for it or not. Most times, the aid I rendered need not have been asked for: as I had seen it was simply needed! I have been called vile and nasty things as a result. I have been threatened with physical harm and worse, also. As a younger man, those things used to get under my skin quite easily. Now-a-days... not so much. I have come to realize that most of the people issuing those insults and threats will never know the deprivations that I have endured to render my service. Therefore, most of what they have to say ring very hollow. The only one's that I feel that can judge me with anything near honesty are my fellow bretheren in the Infantry. Other than that... I'll wait for my real Commander-In-Chief at the big CP in the great beyond! I don't mean to sound like I'm coming off as defensive or anything... I really didn't take offense to your question. I'm just trying to say what my state of mind is on the subject. I'll look up Leo and see what the story is. I really get positive inspiration from Hoo-ah stories of men who gave it their all, not expecting to make it through alive, only to find themselves coming out the other side still in one piece. Those men have my utmost respect! And to the people they served, protected, and made a world of difference to: I say bless you! Thank God they were there for you! Cheers, from Hacksaw!
***** I looked up Leo Major... holy moly, that man was certifiable! He recieved two Distinguished Conduct Medals (DCMs) for bravery. One in WWII, and one in Korea. He was actually put in for a DCM for single-handedly capturing 93 German Soldiers in the battle for Scheldt in southern Netherlands before his actions in Zwolle. He didn't want to recieve the medal from Bernard Montgomerey, so he refused it! That would have made three DCMs! That is the Canadian version of the Congressional Medal of Honor! Leo was one died-in-the-wool bad ass! I'm sure Leo would have just replied that he was just doing his job as a Soldier... most men of his stature in combat would say such. But to be associated with Leo Major would be a distinct honor, and an endless source of satisfaction. I'm sure that for Leo, the knowledge of having made such a difference for you and yours would have endlessly warmed his heart and boueyed him with pride and thankfulness for being of service to you. I'm glad that you and yours had Leo for a guardian angel when you needed him most.
I WILL NEVER STOP LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC CAUSE OF PAT BENATAR WAS A MAZING AND BEAUTIFUL VOCAL ROCK SINGER THAT I REALLY CHEARISHED WHEN I WAS REALLY WAY IN THE 1980'S SO SHE IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM EVER SO NOW I HAVE PAT BENATAR CD COLLECTION NOW ALREADY SO I LOVE IT AND SHE IS THE BEST .
I thank Pat Benatar not for the music, but for the rock'n'roll! She's the queen of rock! I love her voice! Too bad XM radio doesn't have a station dedicated to playing only her songs just as Bruce Springsteen does. Perhaps I should start a petition. ;-)
I totally agree,Pat benatar should be inducted into hall of fame,lol she is the reason i listen to rock n roll,didnt really like it until i heard her,and the first time i heard hit me with ur best shot,i was hooked,lol that was in 1980,and i was 13,a couple montgs later i blew the speakers out of my stereo playing jesses girl and crazy train,see what u started pat?thank you ,
Beautiful song brings back memories of 1987 or so used to crank up my boombox!! Listening to my fav singer ever❤! On. Cassette!! Still sounds amazingly good
We are the people of the hard rain let it be done right now 👍💥💥💥❤👍 Sometimes songs passes you by and till you need it and we need it right now so let it be right now Then lion song Christ is 💥💥💥🌹ONE LOVE ❤👍👀 God has spoken in the golden dream🤗❤ True love will lead us HOME FOREVER 👍🙏👍
I was a fan for many years. I see this song was released in 1988. I am just amazed that I missed this song for so many years. How did I miss it?????? This should have been a hit back in 1988 and a feature song in her concerts today

This isn't just a song. It's a prayer and one sorely needed right now for the whole of humanity.
Thats true
Yes sir... so right my friend.
That's true💯
So-so-so true. And it is so sad because it doesn't have to be.

The most underrated Pat Benatar song ever. This should've been a lot more popular and it shocks me that it wasn't.

No its not its one her popular ones
@@elizabethshelton1962 Actually it isn't. It didn't even chart.
The. Best. Is. Often. Never. Noticed. It's. For. The. Best. Listeners. Like. US. Enjoy. Bye
The ending is the most amazing part of this great song. "We are the children of The Thousand Days ..."
That man can be Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Mother Theresa or a million more without a known name, the ones that make this world a little worth living. One of the best of Pat Benatar.
How did this not get more airplay? So glad I happened upon it. She’s so freaking amazing.
It doesn't fit the "rocker chick" image she had in the 70s and 80s. She was probably 35 or so when this came out, and had kids in school. "Rocker chick" was losing credibility I imagine. In fact, her next album, which bombed, was jump blues. Too bad, her voice was angelic at times in this one.
@@mjpottertx true and great point! It’s too in between to be a full ballad like ‘We Belong’ so yeah makes sense
You dont find this song. It finds you. If you are ready to HEAR it. Pure transcendance.
Beautifully said

SHE IS AMAZING her voice is worth of big praise and accolades beyond crap of these times!
Lucky you!!!
you're an unsung rock and roll hero bro.........we are the people of the heartbreak but ascension beckons.....
That's a great story of adventure and memorable discovery! 😁😉 Awesome. 👍
you made the right call was lucky to see her in Ottawa Ontario.a few years ago.
Her best song hands down!!. Love this story... and Loverboy too, f@#%ing fantastic! 💞
The QUEEN OF ROCK IS still REIGNING
Who else here grew up in the 1990's and is in their 30's enjoying this music when music was music.
Dear Pat and Company,
Thank you 💛 🙏🎶
Can't honestly believe this song wasn't a billion times more popular. Her best IMHO.
I know, and the sound was right for the radio at the time. It's such a nice song and her vocal is wonderful.
I love this song!
easily one of my faves
86th
I totally agree fluke of getting played on air...or not
Maybe her BEST vocal range song...chilling when she hits the higher notes...I wish her and Spyder would add this to the set list for future shows!
An instant 80's hidden classic!! One of the best songs of Pat Benatar. A+
The QUEEN OF ROCK IS still REIGNING ❤
31 years old this month (single released late Jan 1989) & still as fresh as ever.
Can't believe how underrated this song is 💙💕
Great song
Seeing Pat with long hair looks beautiful
Nice new look
Arguable one of Pat Benatar's greatest songs of all fucking time. My personal favorite song of hers! :-)
Me too!!
Me too dear
It's very spiritual. For me it means Jesus coming to Earth and the sorrows and joys of God's People.
Exceptional song! It Don't understand how this song didn't get the "Attention and Vast Listening it calls for." Big fan for many years. Her songs sound better each time I listen! Incredible . . . Incredible . . . What more can I say!
What a spiritual song. Praise God.
It's about jesus. Except for the Africa reference. Lol.
@@rogerwalsberg I think the Afrika reference is put in because Middle East wouldn't fit.
@@rogerwalsberg No, it's not about anyone in the Greek Testament. Read the lyrics.
The song is Rastafarian. The person mentioned is likely Haile Selassie, whom the Rastafarians variously believe is either the return of Jesus to earth or the incarnation of their god, Jah.
Completely underrated. I love this song, and it could have been a hit..nit sure why it didn't
Not sure why it wasn't a hit
Her voice can melt gold.
Wasn't thinking or going in this direction listening to Pat's greatest hits, but it struck me when I heard this song that taken a different way, a beautiful song about Jesus and one love of God. Really felt it was an "undiscovered masterpiece"! Like she said, this song goes on with me forever....
This song should be a hymn for our generation. That's Gen X!
Agree
+Risk Romer you would be CORRECT
+Landsharrk “Sharrk” Bites one day every eye will see the truth before ☆LIGHT☆
...this song sends chills.
What a beautiful song.....WOW !
popyey
Great music was on its way out and crap was beginning to creep in as the decade of the 80s died out. This is why this great song and album did not make much noise.
Once there was a man, and he lived to sing the lions song
As he traveled on the road of hope
One love is the light, shining over every mountaintop
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every heart will beat strong against the night
Let it be done right now
Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love
And his song became the golden dream
One love is the light, shining over everyone that believes
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
Some wait, so long
Because our love is strong
This hard road traveled on
Will lead us home, forever
Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind
Yeah he's gone unto his father's land
Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts
Colors woven in the golden dream
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
One day every voice will speak strong against the night
Let us be one right now
So let it be
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the people of the hard rain
Thanks. Berry. Much. Love. U.
Cool lyrics.
The world and people deserve more music like this. I have been a fan of Pat Benatar since 1979 and am very grateful for all the great albums they have given us.
I agree with DaninBranson. We should petition the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to vote Pat Benatar in. She is the ULTRA-Singer!!!
I agree, no question, she deserves the hall of fame!!
Amen to that one brother
I totally, agree!
The hall doesn’t deserve her talent.
Her voice gives me goosebumps. Just perfection. Her and Neil are a match made in heaven - musically and in life xx
Beautiful! God bless you Pat Benatar! This is true worship
This is an incredible song that should only be played as loud as can be tolerated on a surround sound system. Amazing that it never charted here in the US, but did manage to climb to #59 in the UK.
Screw surround sound, play it on a decent 2-channel system with a Marantz SACD and Goldenear speakers- now your talking!
Pat is was very under rated in the UK, those idiots do not know what they are missing....glad I found her in 1981, and I am in the UK.....
US radio stations?
No worries, the women in my family gave me this superb exposure, regardless.
I thank them, am so affected and better for it. Taught me much.

Oof, what's *_that_* SACD price trending at nowadays? I almost forgot about that technology and, my oh my, how some of its collector-level pricing has gone *_crazy_* !! At first blush, not enough selection for me at reasonable prices for me to rationalize.
Agreed (on my 2.1 setup with 8-inch mains and a hefty subwoofer get the job done respectably in its space ) ...
'Cause, when I jam to Benatar, so do my nearby neighbors! 🥴😁😉
"Le bel age" , "One Love (Lion Song)" and "All Fired Up" but a few ! 👍
She's the idol
One of the best rock acts ever. Love this song.
This song and Hell is For Children are my two all-time favorite songs. I like the comment that said she still has the golden pipes. It's true she still does. Greatest singer ever. oxoxox
This song , it touches my soul, thought I could never shed tears from any song, this one brings out that in me, im for ever indebted to Benatar, and of course her husband and crew, thank you Pat,
Thank miss pat for this beautiful song
Music has always soothe my soul ♥️thank you Jesus ♥️
Great Song!

This song was written actually for a tribute to Bob Marley every Pat fan knows this!!!!
Good singer, too bad we had to get rid of both those demons
True it could also about MARTIN LUTHER KING JR..!!!
This song is so incredible. When I listen to it, I feel the blood racing through my veins, breathe deeply, feel the delicious electricity of life... We are One, interdependent, interconnected, all life is sacred... I want to dance, I want to LIVE!
Love this song! Still holds its own in 2020. Pat & Neil you rock the world.

This song is it!This is the best motivated for me when I'm down & out.
So eine Starke Frau..... Sowie auch der Song, der unter die Haut geht. Wird nie langweilig. Danke für den Song....😊😊😊😊
one of pats greatest songs i remember when it was released as a single i could not get the song out of head for days
The QUEEN OF ROCK IS STILL REIGNING AND IS COMING TO THE SAN JOSE CIVIC SEPTEMBER 8
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑITOS HERMOSA MUJER, DE LAS MEJORES CANTANTES DE ROCK DE LA HISTORIA 😍😻
This song became ever so much more powerful for me as a Soldier staioned in the Sinai Peninsula over in Egypt. We were exercising the 1979 peace treaty in the tiny hamlet of Neueva about half way up the coast of the Gulf of Aquaba. It made me think of so much out on patrol.
***** Sorry it's taken me a bit to reply to you... I have a wacky schedule and lots of extra-curricular activities out building and upgrading firing ranges for the Army. As far as the song you mention "Too Long a Soldier", eh, I can't feel one way or the other about it really. I don't feel it relates a whole lot to how I served. Yes, I've seen man's cruelty to man. I've dealt some of it out to some people who (I feel) desperately needed it. I feel no remorse for any of the sharper things I've done in the service of my country (and the people of this world, for that matter). I've done what I have done in the defense of innocent people no matter where my travels (or my government) have taken me. I feel that I have fulfilled the oath of protection that I swore to faithfully, and honourably. I have defended the defenseless and rendered what aid I had to give to those who needed it whether they asked for it or not. Most times, the aid I rendered need not have been asked for: as I had seen it was simply needed!
I have been called vile and nasty things as a result. I have been threatened with physical harm and worse, also. As a younger man, those things used to get under my skin quite easily.

One of my favorite song and I guess I'm still listening to pat beneath guess I'm a legend lol
"Somos los Niños de los Mil Días, la Gente del Camino Difícil..." Gracias Pat 😉😍🐻🌹❤️
...Sensuous, sultry and exhilarating. Typical 80's. But Miss Pat cornered the market on sexiness. Bravo, Miss Pat, bravo...
Thank you Pat and The Band...when music and lyrics came from the heart and were about something.
Pat Benatar is my absolutely favorite 80's singer way above Madonna.
Well one is a Christian n the other is a satanic witch
Thats true
What a voice !!
Best Shots is a Fantastic Album!! I just find it bizarre how underrated it is..it deserves more love tbh 💖🤚🙉
Right! To the people who haven't discovered music like this I seriously feel for them...they don't know what they are missing
I would always listen to best shots album...over and over again..such a masterpiece album
Oh yes! Best Shots is one of the best albums I've ever heard 🙌
I owe my life to pat, for keeping me going through tough times in life.
A beautiful masterpiece! 🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥🌹🔥
This song is timeless and everything 💞

God, I love this song. This should be the World's anthem. 1❤️
She’s so stunning what a heartbreaker.
I WILL NEVER STOP LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC CAUSE OF PAT BENATAR WAS A MAZING AND BEAUTIFUL VOCAL ROCK SINGER THAT I REALLY CHEARISHED WHEN I WAS REALLY WAY IN THE 1980'S SO SHE IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM EVER SO NOW I HAVE PAT BENATAR CD COLLECTION NOW ALREADY SO I LOVE IT AND SHE IS THE BEST .
Yeah, this was always my favorite of her songs. I could listen to it over and over again.
I thank Pat Benatar not for the music, but for the rock'n'roll! She's the queen of rock! I love her voice! Too bad XM radio doesn't have a station dedicated to playing only her songs just as Bruce Springsteen does. Perhaps I should start a petition. ;-)
I totally agree,Pat benatar should be inducted into hall of fame,lol she is the reason i listen to rock n roll,didnt really like it until i heard her,and the first time i heard hit me with ur best shot,i was hooked,lol that was in 1980,and i was 13,a couple montgs later i blew the speakers out of my stereo playing jesses girl and crazy train,see what u started pat?thank you ,

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑITOS MUJER HERMOSA Y TALENTOSA, UNA DE LAS MEJORES CANTANTES DE ROCK 😍🌹
Not even a million views? I am shocked tbh 😳 such a great song 🎵
Digging this mellow vibe. This is one of her singles I don't remember but by the late 80's her mainstream popularity was waning so I understand
Beautiful song brings back memories of 1987 or so used to crank up my boombox!! Listening to my fav singer ever❤! On. Cassette!! Still sounds amazingly good
one hell of a classic!!!!!

Amazing song, shud have been huge hit
I was a fan for many years. I see this song was released in 1988. I am just amazed that I missed this song for so many years. How did I miss it?????? This should have been a hit back in 1988 and a feature song in her concerts today
The QUEEN of Rock IS STILL REIGNING AND IS COMING TO THE SAN JOSE CIVIC SEPTEMBER 8
