Soldier Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soldier, your eyes
They shine like the sun
I wonder why
Soldier, your eyes
Shine like the sun
I wonder why

[Verse 2]
Jesus, I saw you
Walking on the river
I don't believe you
You can't deliver right away
I wonder why

[Outro]
Jesus, your eyes
Shine like the sun
I wonder why

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
