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
Cause I will be your shield
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
When all of your strength is gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield
When you are a soldier
And I will be the one
You can cry your songs to
My eyes will share your tears
And when you are surrounded
The enemy is closing in
I will fight with you
To the end
When you're lost in darkness
I will hold a 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
Yes, I will be your shield
When you are a soldier
When you are a soldier
