"Brave Little Soldier" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

I'm a brave little soldier, I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier and I must carry on
I'm a brave little soldier, a brave little soldier.

I'm a brave little soldier, I must fight, I must win
I'm a brave little soldier through hell and back again
I'm a brave little soldier, a brave little soldier
Per rum, pum, pum, per rum, pum, pum.

Ye though I am marching through the valley filled with fear
My steps are sure and sturdy and my aim is straight and clear
The enemy is stalking me just waiting for the kill
Like David slewed Galiath, I will claim this battle field.

I'm a brave little soldier, I must do what I can
I'm a brave little soldier and I must take a stand
I'm a brave little soldier, a brave little soldier.

Marching, marching onward searching out the light of truth
I did not start the war but it's a battle I can't lose
Faith will be my armor and love my sword and shield
I must defeat the enemy, I will, I will, I will.

A brave little soldier, I must be bold and strong
A brave little soldier and I must carry on
A brave little soldier, a brave little soldier
Per rum pum pum, per rum pum pum.

I'm a brave little soldier, a brave little soldier
A brave little soldier...
