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
I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
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
And when your strength is all but gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
When you're a soldier
I will be the one you can cry your songs to
My eyes will share your tears
And I'll be your friend if you win or if you're defeated
Whenever you need me I will be there
When you're lost in darkness, I will hold the 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, cos I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
And I will be your shield, cos I know how it feels
When you are a soldier

(BMG)) (BMI)Too young to know
Too old to listen
You live your life inside a day dream
Your lovers pride worn like a costume
Too blind to see what you're missing
Well if you love yourself in the moring
Loosen up your little bow tie
You know you gave me an early warning
Early warning
Wall to wall mirrors in your bathroom
You can see yourself dressing with your back turned
You love your wife 'cause she's a challenge
You love your wife 'cause she's a challenge
Well if you love yourself in the moring
Loosen up your little bow tie
You know you gave me an early warning
Early warning
Too young to know, ha ha yeah
Too young, too old to listen
Say if you love yourself in the moring
Loosen up your little bow tie
You know you gave me an early warning
Early warning
Say if you love yourself in the moring
Loosen up your little bow tie
You know you gave me an early warning
Early warning
You know you gave me an early warning
You know you gave me an early warning
Aahh loosen up
