Soldier

Steven Curtis Chapman · We Were Soldiers [original soundtrack] [2002]

When you are a soldier

I will be your shield

I will go with you into the battle field

And when the arrows start to fly

Take my hand and hold on tight

Cause I will be your shield

When you are a soldier



When you're tired from running

I will cheer you on

Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone

When all of your strength is gone

I'll carry you until you're strong

And I will be your shield

When you are a soldier



And I will be the one

You can cry your songs to

My eyes will share your tears

And when you are surrounded

The enemy is closing in

I will fight with you

To the end



When you're lost in darkness

I will hold a light

I will help you find your way through the night

I'll remind you of the truth

And keep the flame alive in you

And I will be your shield

Yes, I will be your shield

When you are a soldier
