Old soldier, My soldier
They’re saying you lost this battle

It’s time to pass the gun
Arm your sons now
You’ve always shown them how
To follow Me in battle

Old soldier, My soldier
Come for your medals
The world’s not worthy of you anymore

They’re saying you lost this battle,
But soldier, My soldier
You won!

The war was fought long ago
Before your sons
Before your birth
Before the stars
I won it
And every war that counted
I won that,
You won it too
