Artist/Band: Kenny Rogers
Lyrics for Song: A Soldier's King
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Kenny Rogers



Noone seemed to notice

The man beside the road

He was just a ragged soldier

Out there in the cold

But he seemed to have a purpose

Only known to him

As he walked along the streets that night

Through the town of Bethlehem.



In his head he held a memory

Of all the wars he'd known

In his hand he clutched a medal

For the bravery he'd shown

And the weight of every battle

He caried in his heart

But his eyes were clear and searching

For a manger in the dark.



Chorus:

Some are born to greatness

Some are born to fall

Some are bound to be forgotten

Like they never lived at all

But we're all born to know Him

And stand befor His light

Like the soldier who found his king tonight.



He had marched for politicians

Served under their command

And he fought for all the causes

That he did not understand

But it was something deep inside him now

That led him on his way

With a single star to guide him

To were the baby lay.



Chorus:

Some are born to greatness

Some are born to fall

Some are bound to be forgotten

Like they never lived at all

But we're all born to know Him

And stand befor His light

Like the soldier who found his king tonight.



He stood before the Son of God

Come to pay our debt

He smiled up at the soldier

That the world would soon forget

So he held out his medal

And said this for you I bring

There he swore allegiance

To the newborn baby king.



Chorus:

Some are born to greatness

Some are born to fall

Some are bound to be forgotten

Like they never lived at all

But we're all born to know Him

And stand befor His light

Like the soldier who found his king tonight...
