Maybe I won't make much of a difference 
And all I do won't make a hill of beans 
I can't bestow riches on my children 
Unless I can show what love and kindness mean 

If you believe what's right is right 
Then you will always have to fight 
I guess I am a soldier after all 
I guess I am a soldier after all 

So I go to work every morning 
Knowing I will never have it made 
Some months I go paycheck to pawnshop 
I wish I could say at least then the bills are paid 

It takes care to keep what you hold precious 
There isn't much of which you can be sure 
Then you will have to fight even more 

'Cause it'S a world 
Where you're still judged by your cover 
The money you don't make, your skin, your lover 
Your lover 

So maybe I won't make much of a difference 
But that doesn't mean that I'm not gonna try 
Cause every day you love someone is better 
And I'm not gonna let that chance pass me by 

No I'm not gonna let that chance pass me by 

If you believe what's right 
Then you will always have to fight 
I guess I am a soldier after all 
I guess I am a soldier after all
