When you are a soldier, I will be your shield
I will go with you into the battlefield
And when the arrows start to fly
Take my hand and hold on tight
I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
When you`re tired from running, I will cheer you on
Look beside you and you`ll see you`re not alone
And when your strength is all but gone
I`ll carry you until you`re strong
And I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
When you`re a soldier
I will be the one you can cry your songs to
My eyes will share your tears
And I`ll be your friend if you win or if you`re defeated
Whenever you need me I will be there
When you`re lost in darkness, I will hold the light
I will help you find your way through the night
I`ll remind you of the truth
And keep the flame alive in you
And I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
And I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
