Soldier Songtext

von North Mississippi Allstars

Sitting on the roof, no help has come
Floods overflowing
High water everywhere, we lost our homes
Floods overflowing

My cup is empty and my mouth is dry
Old hand at beating down from up on high

Do you think you make a soldier
A soldier of the cross?
Do you think you make a soldier
In the army of the Lord?

The levee blew out into the city
Hell's overflowing
The devil running loose, oh, Lord have mercy
Hell's overflowing

God gave Noah that rainbow sign
It won't be water but fire next time

Do you think you make a soldier
A soldier of the cross?
Do you think you make a soldier
In the army of the Lord?

Up all night praying to the moon
Clouds overblowing
If I ever sleep again it will be no time soon
Tomorrow's never coming

My cup is empty and my mouth is dry
That old dirty water on the rise

Do you think you make a soldier
A soldier of the cross?
Do you think you make a soldier
In the army of the Lord?
