Roan Ash - Like a Soldier

Rising from the ashes
Had a long, long way to run
And your hands have turned to blisters
Working long days in the sun

I don't know where you're going
But, boy, I do know where you've been
And though your eyes tell all the stories
Your faith is wearing thin

Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Just like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on

And after years of crushing stone
You made an empty house your home
And out of chains you made a living
Seeking shelter from the storm
Created your own freedom
Keep your children safe and warm

I know there's been some hardship
But it made you a stronger man
And if I grow up to be like you
I'd be proud of who I am

Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on

Just like you, I'm standing tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
One man against the world

Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on
Like a soldier
Just like a soldier
Like a soldier marching on

Now just like you, I'm standing tall
Yeah, just like you, I'm standing tall
One man against the world
One man against the world
