[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wish I only was a daughter
With my toes dipped into the water
I was in the arms of my mother
I didn't have to care about any or another

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish I was gone and wasted
So I didn't have to care about faces
And just swim past the places
I was supposed to live

[Chorus]
But I am a soldier
With a thousand faces on my shoulder
I am a soldier
And I'm walking on the water
I am a soldier
With a thousand faces on my shoulder
I am a soldier
And I'm walking on the water

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wish I was holy
With no worries, and never lonely
I could lay down and just be
I wouldn't need anybody else to find peace
[Chorus]
But I am a soldier
With a thousand faces on my shoulder
I am a soldier
And I'm walking on the water
I am a soldier
With a thousand faces on my shoulders
I am a soldier
And I'm walking on the water

[Bridge]
I still need you here
I still want you here
I still need you here
I still want you here

[Chorus]
But I am a soldier
With a thousand faces on my shoulders
I am a soldier
And I'm walking on the water
I am a soldier
With a thousand faces on my shoulders
I am a soldier
And I'm walking on the water
[Outro]
I am, I am
