I remember at an earlier age
We were walking to school
Catching the CTA avoiding the grave
Thinkin' back we never let anything tear us apart
Unlimited heart even though the living was hard
Gotta momma living would of put her life on the line
Grandad my real dad only one that I had
Grandmama raised me up
Put the fear in my life
Gave me advice
Taught me about the love of the christ
My body is a soldier
My heart is a stranger
My thoughts get colder
Are you ready for war
My soul is afire
Spirit taking me higher
In the dark I'm a lighter
And I'm ready to burn
I saw you everyday for 6 months straight
All of a sudden you vanished
You had me feeling like I made a mistake
I remember when you told me that I wasn't the man
Things played out
Now you've got a ring on your hand
Never thought you'd be the one helping me holding it down
Making the rounds
While I'm busy chasing the crown
I got the best of both worlds cause I'm in love with a friend
I'll say it again, cause you're the only one in the end
My body is a soldier
My heart is a stranger
My thoughts get colder
Are you ready for war
My soul is afire
Spirit taking me higher
In the dark I'm a lighter
And I'm ready to burn
Ready to burn
Ready to burn
Ready to burn
Ready to burn
Ready to burn
I got a brain in my head and a heart in my chest
And my blood runs red just like the rest of us
Don't fear the things you can't understand
When you're looking at me you'll see the face of a man
You'll see the eyes of a son
You'll see the strength in my hands
You'll see the scars that I've earned through the battles I've won
Feel the heart of a lion that's serving a lamb
When you're looking at me you'll see the light of the land
My body is a soldier
My heart is a stranger
My thoughts get colder
Are you ready for war
My soul is afire
Spirit takin' me higher
In the dark I'm a lighter
And I'm ready to burn
