Like A Soldier

Arising from the ashes Had a long, long way to run And 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 a 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 the 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 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 Yeah, just like you, I'm standing tall One man against the world One man against the world --- Like A Soldier - Roan Ash
