[Verse 1] Rain on my collar, mud on my boots Cold air biting, I’m duckin’ the troops Sergeant yell loud, I just nod and grin I came for peace, they came for the win Helmet check, chain clap, boots in the slush My heart stay calm while the whole line rush They march like thunder, I move like smoke One joke from me and the whole camp choke I’m not built for glory, I’m built for grace Blanket on my shoulders, wet on my face They want a warrior, I want a song Still I stand here all night long [Chorus] The sun is rising in the sky But I am staying down The sun is rising in the sky But I am staying down I’m just a pacifist Dancing in the night I’m just a pacifist Dancing in the night [Verse 2] Rain keep falling on the chain-link fence Cold got the squad in a tense suspense They bang on steel, I tap my knee Like, “You can shout, but you can’t own me” I seen the battlefield turn to a blur Saw hard men trip on a little cold stir My laugh hit low when the sirens start Cause I keep warm with a stubborn heart No commando, no cannon, no crown Just a slow little sway when the lights go down They call it a fight, I call it a mess I bring a clean soul to the muddy mess [Chorus] The sun is rising in the sky But I am staying down The sun is rising in the sky But I am staying down I’m just a pacifist Dancing in the night I’m just a pacifist Dancing in the night [Bridge] Let them charge through the rain Let them chase that smoke I got a quiet mind And a half-smile joke If the cold wants my name It can wait in line I been making peace With the cold all night [Chorus] The sun is rising in the sky But I am staying down The sun is rising in the sky But I am staying down I’m just a pacifist Dancing in the night I’m just a pacifist Dancing in the night
