Life of a Soldier
I am a soldier
Head up steady marching forward
Always on the look out for battle
Ready for conflict
On the look out for false spies
The ones that pretend to be in your life
Turn on you soon as you turn your head
One mistake and you'll wind up dead
In constant battle with the enemy
The affects of war does not phase me
Not realizing all the people that praise me
I just march on steadily
Focused on the love of family
To keep me alive
The love of a lover
To help me survive
Only trust my comrades
Their with me through the struggle
I got their back they got mine
For now until the end of time
Always prepared for betrayal
Ready for a sneaky ambush
Staying alive for one sweet lady
The life of a soldier
