I am a soldier
I am a soldier
I am a soldier
I am a soldier
And I'm fighting to keep my head above water
And I'm fighting to keep my shelter warm
And I'm fighting to keep my cards on the table
And my hopes and dreams far away from harm
I am a soldier
I am a little soldier
I am a soldier
I am a happy soldier
And this world -- it is my battlefield
And I think this war may last forever
And I hope this winter won't be the one
That goes on and on 'til the end of time
I am a soldier
I am a little soldier
I am a soldier
I am a happy soldier
And my friend -- he is a bigger soldier
And my lover -- she is a singing soldier
And my mother -- she is an aging soldier
But she grows stronger as she goes on
I am a soldier
I am a little soldier
I am a soldier
I am a happy soldier
And my friend, he keeps me from falling
And my lover, she holds me tight when the thunder seems too loud
To be harmless
I am a soldier ...
