Lyrics

I'm a brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
I'm a brave little soldier
I must fight, I must win
I'm a brave little soldier
Through hell and back again
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum
Ye though I am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
But like David slewed Goliath
I will claim this battle field
I'm a brave little soldier
I must do what I can
I'm a brave little soldier
And I must take a stand
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Marching, marching, marching onward
To the light of truth
I did not start the war
But it's a battle I can't lose
Faith will be my armor
And love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy
I will, I will, I will
I'm a brave little soldier
I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier
And I must carry on
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum
I'm a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier
I'm a brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum
Per rum, pum, pum, pum, pum
