One day I will be who I wanna be, no one will tell ME what to do, it will be MY life that I will live for myself.

I am not done
There is still a breath in my body

Therefore,
I am still alive

Devil,
My soul is safe

I belong to God

Knock me down
Drag me around

But I will stand up
And keep walking with faith

I am a child of God
Giving up is no option

As long as I am here
On this earth
You will try to put me down

But I am a soldier
In God’s army

And I am standing my ground

This is my hill
And you will never
Keep me down

A soldier of God can withstand anything
As long as they have faith, hope, and love

I am a soldier
