Lyrics
Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sitting on the roof, no help has come
Floods overflowing
High water everywhere, we lost our homes
Floods overflowing
My cup is empty and my mouth is dry
Old hand at beating down from up on high
Do you think you make a soldier
A soldier of the cross?
Do you think you make a soldier
In the army of the lord?
The levee blew out into the city
Hell's overflowing
The devil running loose, oh, lord have mercy
Hell's overflowing
God gave noah that rainbow sign
It won't be water but fire next time
Do you think you make a soldier
A soldier of the cross?
Do you think you make a soldier
In the army of the lord?
Up all night praying to the moon
Clouds overblowing
If i ever sleep again it will be no time soon
Tomorrow's never coming
My cup is empty and my mouth is dry
That old dirty water on the rise
Do you think you make a soldier
A soldier of the cross?
Do you think you make a soldier
In the army of the lord?
