(I'm a soldier!)(I'm a soldier!)We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundRise up shepherd, rise upYour flock has roamed far from the hillThe stars have faded, the sky is stillThe angels are shouting "Glory Hallelujah"We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundForty days and nights of rain have washed this landJesus said the money changers in this temple will not standFind your flock, get them to higher groundFlood waters rising and we're Canaan boundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground(I'm a soldier!)Tend to your flock or they will strayWe'll be called for our service come Judgment DayBefore we cross that river wideBlood on our hands will come back on us twice(I'm a soldier!)Rise up shepherd, rise upYour flock has roamed far from the hillStars have faded, the sky is stillSun's in the heavens and a new day's risingYou use your muscle and your mind and you pray your bestThat your best is good enough, the Lord will do the restYou raise your childrenAnd you teach 'them to walk straight and sureYou pray that hard times, hard times, come no moreYou try to sleep, you toss and turn, the bottom's dropping outWhere you once had faith now there's only doubtYou pray for guidance, only silence now meets your prayersThe morning breaks, you awake but no one's thereWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundThere's a new day comingWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground(I'm a soldier!)We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundA new day's comingWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground(I'm a soldier!)We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundA new day's comingWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground(I'm a soldier!)We've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundThere's a new day comingWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky groundWe've been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground
