SOLDIER ON
(Carroll)
© Ordinary World (ASCAP)

The wind won't blow
The flag don't move
Undertow

Can't listen to the news no more
A new 9-11's crashing ashore
Not much to do but watch it wash away
Turn up your collar
Soldier On

Some got caught
Most broke free
Not their fault

Born in the land of the free for me
A shoot from the hypocrisy
Over two hundred years to learn the truth
Lace up your boots now
Soldier On

All aboard or get left behind
The worm's yet to turn
But it will in time
All in a good day's work
Feel the dirt rain out of your league and it’s
Time to stop digging now

Time to stop digging now
Time to stop
Soldier On


We’ve got to keep on keepin' on, got to be decisive
Don’t point your finger at who’s wrong don’t be divisive
You never know when you might need a helping hand
Convince the Hitler history might misunderstand
Catch a glimpse of the midnight sun


The limbs won’t grow
But faith will move you
On you’ll go

Can’t buckle to the blue no more
Hell and Heaven share this chore

Onto the shore we’ll smash
Those grapes of wrath
Right into passion
Soldier On
Keep on soldiering on
And catch a glimpse of the Midnight Sun
