Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Risin' from the ashes
Had a long, long way to run
And your hands have turned to blisters
Workin' long days in the sun
I don't know where you're goin'
But, boy, I do know where you've been
And though your eyes tell all the stories
Your faith is wearin' thin
[Chorus]
Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Just like a soldier marchin' on
Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marchin' on
And after years of crushin' stone
You made an empty house your home
[Instrumental]
And out of chains, you made a livin'
Seekin' shelter from the storm
Created your own freedom
Keep your children safe and warm
I know there's been some hardship
But it made you a stronger man
And if I grow up to be like you
I'd be proud of who I am
[Chorus]
Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marchin' on
Well, like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marchin' on
Now just like you, I'm standin' tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
One man against the world
[Instrumental]
Well, like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marchin' on
Well, like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Well, like a soldier marchin' on
Now just like you, I'm standin' tall
Yeah, just like you, I'm standin' tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
