Like a Soldier
Arising from the ashes
Had a long long way to run
Your hands have turned to blisters
Working long days in the sun
I don't know where you're going but boy I do know where you've been
And though your eyes tell all the stories
Your faith is wearing thin
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Just like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like soldier marching on
And after years of crushing stone
You made an empty house your home
And out of chains you made a living
Seeking shelter from a storm
Created your own freedom keep your children safe and warm
I know there's been some hardship but it made you a stronger man
And if I grew up to be like you
I'd be proud of who I am
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Now just like you I'm standing tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
One man against the world
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Now just like you I'm standing tall
Just like you I'm standing tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
Had a long long way to run
Your hands have turned to blisters
Working long days in the sun
I don't know where you're going but boy I do know where you've been
And though your eyes tell all the stories
Your faith is wearing thin
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Just like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like soldier marching on
And after years of crushing stone
You made an empty house your home
And out of chains you made a living
Seeking shelter from a storm
Created your own freedom keep your children safe and warm
I know there's been some hardship but it made you a stronger man
And if I grew up to be like you
I'd be proud of who I am
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Now just like you I'm standing tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
One man against the world
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier, just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Now just like you I'm standing tall
Just like you I'm standing tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
