Soldier

Oh uniform, line of girls on the wait
ready to send you on your way,
away
from me.
I'm not afraid to find you'll drop me to hold her
just cuz she's new skin, you're my soldier,
and you probably always have been.
You don't crave me
because of youth or smell or beauty...
but only for the reason that I am me.

You're gonna be
the first man to hear me sing.

Got battles of your own but you fight for mine too,
and you can count on me saving you
whenever I can.
You were the man 
who was faithful when it mattered 
the most, O my soldier.

For you my walls 
will fall, fall, fall
permanently.

You don't want new territory 
just because its new, you crave me.
You're immovable as a boulder
yet
you let 
me fly,
soldier,
fly high, 
soldier.

And I know you're not gonna save me when the world gets colder.
You're gonna teach me how to be the best soldier...

I'm ready to lean on only your shoulders.
be my, be my soldier.
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
