Kenny Rogers - A Soldier's King lyrics
[Kenny Rogers - A Soldier's King lyrics]
None seemed to notice the man beside the road
He was just a raged soldier
Out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a
Purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that
Night through the town of Bethlahem
In his head he held a memory
Of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal
For the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle
He caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching
For a manger in the dark
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like
They never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
He had marched for politicians
Served under their command
And he fought for all the causes
That he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now
That led him on his way
With a single star to guide him
To were the baby lay
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like
They never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
He stood before the Son of God
Come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that
The world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and
Said this for you I bring
There he swore aligiance to
The newborn baby King
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like
They never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
He was just a raged soldier
Out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a
Purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that
Night through the town of Bethlahem
In his head he held a memory
Of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal
For the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle
He caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching
For a manger in the dark
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like
They never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
He had marched for politicians
Served under their command
And he fought for all the causes
That he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now
That led him on his way
With a single star to guide him
To were the baby lay
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like
They never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
He stood before the Son of God
Come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that
The world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and
Said this for you I bring
There he swore aligiance to
The newborn baby King
Some are born to greatness
Some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like
They never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him
And stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight
