Since a kid I always loved to sing. I told my teachers, "that's what I want to be."
And this road I'm on, as sketchy it may be brings chances to beat the odds the devils has for me

And I'm never gonna miss a beat, because brother I'm a soldier.
No I'm never gonna miss a beat, because I got to be a soldier.
And in heaven maybe he is smiling down on me.
But behind the doors of my heart I am crying

Epic warfare. It's spiritual. When out of nowhere come the black cannon balls.
Today we broke down and caught wind of a tragedy in the same hour.
But tonight I, I won't sing about this

Because I'm never gonna miss a beat, cuz brother I'm a soldier.
No I'm never gonna miss a beat, because the Lord made me a soldier.
And in heaven maybe he is smiling down on me.
But behind the doors of my heart I am crying.
Today, behind the doors of my heart

And in the end
The life we lead
It will have made a difference in a world unseen.

So we're never gonna miss a beat, because brother we are soldiers.
No we're never gonna miss a beat, because we got to be soldiers.
And in heaven maybe he is 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
