Make me a soldier...

tear me down to the bottom of a canyon
raise me up to the highest of clouds
burn it all down to the ground
here's my words because I don't make a sound

make me stronger
shed my skin
make me a soldier
make me a soldier
I'm not a machine
I'm just a human being
please I just wanna be a soldier

I've won the battle but there's still a war
a frightened young boy has become a man
my enemy wants my blood
but this little boy has become a man

make me stronger
shed my skin
make me a soldier
make me a soldier
I'm not a machine
I'm just a human being 
please I just wanna be a soldier

I write this to let you know
your little son has got to grow
my lesson learned today will make a beautiful picture tomorrow
so next time I see you I will be a man

I'm strong
I'm a different person
now, I'm a soldier 
I will battle on
I'm a soldier 
I'm a soldier...... LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT!!!
