[Intro]
Soldier
[Verse 1]
The changing time can get you down
When you try to call her, will she be around?
The land is flat, it's not like home
The stereo crackles when it gets four-below (when it gets four-below)
[Chorus]
Soldier, soldier
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
Soldier
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
Soldier, you gotta be strong
Soldier, you gotta be strong
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be strong
Soldier
[Verse 2]
The rocking horse, the gleaming sand
The thirsty bird that only drinks the colour black
The harvest's here, we fight the land
Will you see her again, with that money in your hand? (Money in your hand)
[Chorus]
Soldier, soldier
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
Soldier
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
Soldier, you gotta be strong
Soldier, you gotta be strong
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be strong
Soldier
[Bridge]
On better things, your heart is hung
On better things, your heart is hung
On better things, your heart is hung
On better things, your heart is hung
On better things, things, things
[Chorus]
Soldier, soldier
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
Soldier
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
Soldier, you gotta be strong
Soldier, you gotta be strong
Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be strong
Soldier
[Outro]
You've been there so long, you gotta be strong
