Since I was a child
I´ve always loved to sing
I told my teacher, it´s what I´m going to be
And this road I´m on, sketchy it may be
Greens chances
To beat the odds the devil has for me

And I´m never going to miss a beat
´Cause brother, I´m a soldier
No, I´m never going to miss a beat
´Cause I got to be a soldier
And in heaven, maybe he
Is smiling down on me
And behind those doors of my heart I am crying

Epic warfare and spiritual
When out of nowhere
The black cannonballs
Today, we broke down
Caught wind of a tragedy
In the same hour
Tonight, I, I won´t sing about this

´Cause I´m never going to miss a beat
´Cause brother, I´m a soldier
No, I´m never going to miss a beat
´Cause the Lord made me a soldier
And in heaven, maybe he
Is smiling down on me
But behind those doors of my heart I am crying

And in the end, the life we lead
Would it have made a difference
In a world unseen?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

So we´re never going to miss a beat
´Cause brother, we are soldiers
Yeah, we´re never going to miss a beat
´Cause we got to be soldiers
And in heaven, maybe he´s
Smiling down on me
But behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
If I said it was easy always, I´d be lying
Today, behind those doors of my heart, I am crying
If I said it was easy, always I´d be lying
But behind the doors of my heart...
