When you are a soldier I will be your shield

I will go with you into the battlefield

And when the arrows start to fly

Take my hand and hold on tight

I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels

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

And when your strength is all but gone

I'll carry you until you're strong

And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels

When you're a soldier



BRIDGE

I will be the one you can cry your songs to

My eyes will share your tears

And I'll be your friend if you win

Or if you're defeated

Whenever you need me I will be here



When you're lost in darkness I will hold the 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

'Cause I know how it feels

When you are a soldier
