[Intro] Yeah Oh-oh [Verse 1] Boots in the dust, sun in my eyes Long days marching under foreign skies Radio whispers, calling my name Heart beating steady, I remember why I came [Pre-Chorus] I don't wear a cape when I walk into the fire Just a heavy pack and a quiet kind of drive I'm not chasing glory or a statue made of stone Just trying to get my brothers home [Chorus] I'm just a soldier with a good state of mind Running through the dark so someone else can shine Not a hero in a story that the headlines write I'm a steady hand reaching through the night If you fall, I'll be there pulling you through Doing what a good-hearted soldier should do [Verse 2] Sirens in the smoke, walls closing in We move as one, we don't break, we bend Carrying the wounded, we don't ask why We just keep moving till we see clear sky [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a crowd screaming out my name Just a quiet moment knowing why I came It's not about the medals or the praise they give It's about giving someone else a chance to live [Chorus] I'm just a soldier with a good state of mind Running through the dark so someone else can shine Not a hero in a story that the headlines write I'm a steady hand reaching through the night If you fall, I'll be there pulling you through Doing what a good-hearted soldier should do [Bridge] When the fear cuts deep and the doubts roll in I breathe, I stand, I remember my friends Every face I've carried out of the flame That's the reason I answer when they call my name [Chorus] I'm just a soldier with a good state of mind Running through the dark so someone else can shine Not a hero in a story that the headlines write I'm a steady hand reaching through the night If you fall, I'll be there pulling you through Doing what a good-hearted soldier should do [Outro] Just a soldier, nothing more to prove One more life saved, then I'm marching on through Good heart, strong mind, that's the creed I choose Yeah, that's what a soldier's meant to do
