Brian at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan

When you are a soldier I will be your shield I will go with you into the battlefield And when the arrows start to fly Take my hand and hold on tight ‘Cause I will be your shield, When you are a soldier

When you're tired from running I will cheer you on Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone And when all of your strength is gone I'll carry you until you're strong And I will be your shield When you are a soldier

I will be the one that you can cry your songs to My eyes will share your tears And when you are surrounded The enemy is closing in I will fight with you To the end

And when you're lost in darkness I will hold the light I will help you find your way through the night And I'll remind you of the truth And keep the flame alive in you And I will be your shield, yes I will be your shield When you are a soldier When you are a soldier
