Since I was a child
|
I've always loved to sing
|
I told my teacher, it's what I'm going to be
|
And this road I'm on, sketchy it may be
|
Greens chances
|
To beat the odds the devil has for me
|
|
And I'm never going to miss a beat
|
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
|
No, I'm never going to miss a beat
|
'Cause I got to be a soldier
|
And in heaven, maybe he
|
Is smiling down on me
|
And behind those doors of my heart I am crying
|
|
Epic warfare and spiritual
|
When out of nowhere
|
The black cannonballs
|
Today, we broke down
|
Caught wind of a tragedy
|
In the same hour
|
Tonight, I, I won't sing about this
|
|
'Cause I'm never going to miss a beat
|
'Cause brother, I'm a soldier
|
No, I'm never going to miss a beat
|
'Cause the Lord made me a soldier
|
And in heaven, maybe he
|
Is smiling down on me
|
But behind those doors of my heart I am crying
|
|
And in the end, the life we lead
|
Would it have made a difference
|
In a world unseen?
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh
|
|
So we're never going to miss a beat
|
'Cause brother, we are soldiers
|
Yeah, we're never going to miss a beat
|
'Cause we got to be soldiers
|
And in heaven, maybe he's
|
Smiling down on me
|
But behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
|
If I said it was easy always, I'd be lying
|
Today, behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
|
If I said it was easy, always I'd be lying
|
But behind the doors of my heart...
