Lyrics
Verse I When I awoke from my sleep, was a sojourner in a land that was foreign to me Couldn’t tell from where I came or who was talking to me I was carried by a stranger like a baby to a manger To a place without danger, any pain, any anguish Took two years to learn the language Then regained the strength in my legs which according to the plan was the first steps I took to truly becoming a man grew accustomed to the laws of the land, in six years began having moral conflict amidst my peers through blood, sweat, and tears I was blessed to persevere gradually things became clearer revealed was the reasons I was there and the home that I left, no longer did I fear what was known as death restored was my hearing was no longer deaf since the alarm sounded, I’ve no longer slept Chorus I’m your soldier ready and armed to drop the B.O.M. whole armor is adorned ‘cause I’m warned of the harm like lightening I strike when the tension starts to heighten I’m your soldier ready and armed to drop the B.O.M. whole armor is adorned ‘cause I’m warned of the harm like lightening I strike when the tension starts to heighten demeanor cool and calm, reciting verses from the Psalms Verse II When again I awoke I found memoirs and notes from my Captain of Hosts with implicit instructions that He sent from His post that the things I was commanded He required and demanded The precedents, standards and the code for the field the feeling I was stranded and alone in the field was suddenly replaced by the boldest of zeal whatever I would face I wasn’t goin’ to be killed equipped with protection, armor and shield a compass for direction through valleys and hills selected by election, empowered and sealed destined for perfection, then was revealed on a greater battlefield than this I had fought with the same weapons, for the same cause so to His office I was called to receive in a manner everything I would need to proceed from a banner to authority and keys, intelligence and rations a platoon so deep sands of the sea couldn’t match ‘em this call to action was response to a thing a vow to my God and my King, I’m your soldier Chorus Verse III When my tour is finished and every war to be fought in this world has ended the flag that I wave will have stood defended and those that would refute it and dispute it will salute it despite the convoluted contentions of technicalities peace that’s been polluted, uprooted by men’s policies will be restored void of ignorance and of fallacy His reign will subdue all kingdoms and principalities we’ll be discharged with honor from all maladies released from all pain, all sickness, and all allergies to stand before the King in a righteous formality thus be judged and receive a just salary for honesty and valor, pennies on the dollar for maliciousness and hate we’ll receive the true weight so rather than wait, or abate, or debate I will strategize my fate ensuring the eternal stateof The Soldier
