La da da da da da, la da da da da [x2]

Where did all the people go?

They got scared when the lights went low.

I'll get you through it nice and slow,

When the world's spinning out of control.

Afraid of what they might lose

Might get scraped or they might get bruised.

You could beg them, what's the use?

That's why it's called a moment of truth

I'll get it if you need it,

I'll search if you don't see it,

You're thirsty, I'll be rain,

You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,

But I said it and I still mean it,

When you heard what I told you,

When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

Funny when times get hard,

At the last moment when you're supposed to charge,

Always on the longest yard,

Oh, they feel their feet getting cold.

Hiding here, hiding there,

Find them underneath the stairs,

People hiding everywhere,

Trying to be still like a stone.

I'll get it if you need it,

I'll search if you can't see it,

You're thirsty, I'll be rain,

You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,

But I said it and I still mean it,

When you heard what I told you,

When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

My aim is so true,

I wanna show you,

I'll try forever,

I'm never gonna say "surrender".

I'll get it if you need it,

I'll search if you can't see it,

You're thirsty, I'll be rain,

You get hurt, I'll take your pain.

I know you don't believe it,

But I said it and I still mean it,

When you heard what I told you,

When you get worried I'll be your soldier.

I'll be your soldier

Well I'll be, oh I'll be your soldier

I'll be your soldier

I'll be your soldier

La ra la ra ra ra, la ra la ra ra [x2]
