Colin Linden - I Am A Soldier lyrics

I am a soldier I am a soldier I am a soldier I am a soldier And I'm fighting to keep my head above water And I'm fighting to keep my shelter warm And I'm fighting to keep my cards on the table And my hopes and dreams far away from harm I am a soldier I am a little soldier I am a soldier I am a happy soldier And this world -- it is my battlefield And I think this war may last forever And I hope this winter won't be the one That goes on and on 'til the end of time I am a soldier I am a little soldier I am a soldier I am a happy soldier And my friend -- he is a bigger soldier And my lover -- she is a singing soldier And my mother -- she is an aging soldier But she grows stronger as she goes on I am a soldier I am a little soldier I am a soldier I am a happy soldier And my friend, he keeps me from falling And my lover, she holds me tight when the thunder seems too loud To be harmless I am a soldier ...
