Lyrics
The Soldiers' Wife
She was just another soldiers' wife, her beauty caught the eye of her king.
As she sat on the edge of that bed, shame was ripping through her head.
Shame was ripping through her head.
Now her life was forever changed, like the shine on her tarnished ring.
There was nowhere to hide from the stain, her face wore the lines of her
pain. Her face wore the lines of her pain.
(chorus)
Sometimes the worst things can happen, to alter our lives and it seems that
we'll never go on, but then goodness prevails and great things arise
to carry us over the trials. To carry us over the trials.
She was just another link in the chain. Her future the key to our own.
It cost her a husband and child, through her came the Light of the world.
Through her came the Light of the world.
(bridge)
Why have we roasted the poor mans lamb,
instead of giving up one of our own?
There's a price to be paid for all that we do and it's all just a part of the plan.
It's all just a part of the plan.
She was just another soldiers' wife. Fighting a war of her own.
It cost her a husband and child, through her came the Light of the world.
Through her came the Light of the world.
(chorus)
Sometimes the worst things can happen, to alter our lives and it seems that
we'll never go on, but then goodness prevails and great things arise
to carry us over the trials. Then goodness prevails and great things arise to
carry us over the trials. To carry us over the trials.
She was just another soldiers' wife.
She was just another soldiers' wife.
She was just another soldiers' wife.
