"Soldier" lyrics

"Soldier"

It's funny how you can take another step
Though your body's beaten down
And you're short of breath
Something says, soldier go on
Pick up your battle sword
And your armor of bronze

Don't look around at the chaos that surrounds you
Take your brother's hand as he reaches
No need to fear when an army is camped on the other side
Life is a war already won

And it's crazy how you can run another mile
Though your pain says give up now
You'll be spared another trial
There's a hope that causes us to look past the hard
That covers scars and heals wounds of a broken heart

Don't look around at the chaos that surrounds you
Take your sister's hand as she reaches
No need to fear when an army is camped on the other side
Life is a war already won
Life is a war already won

I know there's more battles to be fought
More life to be lived, more songs to be sung
And I know there's more colors to be painted
More history made, more stories to be written

Don't look around at the chaos that surrounds you
Take your savior's hand as he reaches
So we will triumph courageously facing our enemy
These wars will never be fought alone

Let us be brave as warriors
Breaking through the barriers
Our king's victory will guide us home
Our king's victory has overcome

Don't fear the war
He's already
Already
Already won

So we will triumph courageously facing our enemy
These wars will never be fought alone
Let us be brave as warriors
Breaking through the barriers
Our king's victory will guide us home
