A Soldier's King
None seemed to notice the man beside the road
He was just a ragged soldier out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlahem.
In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle he caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark.
Chorus:
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight.
He had marched for politicians, served under their command
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay.
Chorus:
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight.
He stood before the Son of God, come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
There he swore aligiance to the newborn baby King.
Chorus:
Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight...
Rey de un soldado
Nadie parecía notar al hombre al lado de la carretera
Era sólo un soldado andrajoso allá afuera en el frío
Pero parecía tener un propósito que sólo él conocía
Mientras caminaba por las calles aquella noche por la ciudad de Beth-lahem
En su cabeza tenía un recuerdo de todas las guerras que había conocido
En su mano agarró una medalla por la valentía que había mostrado
Y el peso de cada batalla que carió en su corazón
Pero sus ojos estaban claros y buscando un pesebre en la oscuridad
Coro
Algunos nacen para la grandeza, otros nacen para caer
Algunos están obligados a ser olvidados como si nunca hubieran vivido en absoluto
Pero todos nacemos para conocerlo y defendernos por Su luz
Como el soldado que encontró a su rey esta noche
Había marchado por los políticos, servido bajo su mando
Y luchó por todas las causas que no entendía
Pero fue algo en lo profundo de él ahora que lo llevó a su camino
Con una sola estrella para guiarlo a que era el bebé yacía
Coro
Algunos nacen para la grandeza, otros nacen para caer
Algunos están obligados a ser olvidados como si nunca hubieran vivido en absoluto
Pero todos nacemos para conocerlo y defendernos por Su luz
Como el soldado que encontró a su rey esta noche
Se paró ante el Hijo de Dios, vino a pagar nuestra deuda
Le sonrió al soldado que el mundo pronto olvidaría
Así que él alzó su medalla y dijo esto por ti
Allí juró aligiance al recién nacido Rey
Coro
Algunos nacen para la grandeza, otros nacen para caer
Algunos están obligados a ser olvidados como si nunca hubieran vivido en absoluto
Pero todos nacemos para conocerlo y defendernos por Su luz
Como el soldado que encontró a su rey esta noche
