I am a soldier

I am a soldier

My heart is in the land

I fight for life and freedom

as I walk upon the sand

I do not walk unworthy

I will not stand alone

The angels travel with me

I fight for land and home

I am a soldier

a daddy and a friend

a comrade and a brother

a warrior to the end

I do not walk unknowing

the risk upon the way

For God travels with me

each and every day

As he travels with me

to him do I pray

"How to fight good teach me

and not let me go astray"

"Don't call my name just yet

give me another day,

so I can protect whom I've never met

and with my brothers here to stay"

I am a soldier

I have three sides to me

Silent, happy and crazy

and the side you never want to meet

I am a soldier

I rest in this land

that I once walked upon

and then fell in the sand.
