|
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... |
