All hope was gone Hard to hang on Hard to be strong Was blind, could not see Nothing but walls in front of me And inside no peace And the mountains seemed impossible to climb Until you stood on the front line You led the way Out of the darkness We didn't go astray You were ready to die for our sake And that, that takes a soldier's heart Oceans so deep Uphill, so steep But still we believe And when the road was too far to travel Heroes, you cared, you came and carried us there And the mountains seemed impossible to climb Until you stood on the front line You led the way Out of the darkness We didn't go astray You were ready to die for our sake And that takes a soldier's heart And so our flag was still there All because you decided to care Our burden to bear You stood on the front line You led the way Right out of the darkness Didn't go astray You were ready to die for our sake And that takes You stood on the front line You led the way Right out of the darkness, hey You could have let us go astray You were ready to die for our sake And that takes a soldier's heart Whoa, that takes a soldier's heart, hey It takes a soldier's heart
