You're a good soldier

Choosing your battles

Pick yourself up
Stand up again·
And dust yourself off
dust yourself off
And back in the saddle
Continue to Front
You're on the frontline
You are on the frontline
Everyone's watching
Gathering eyes
You know it's serious
You know the situation is critical
We're getting closer
We are getting closer
This isn't over
It’s not over yet
The pressure is on
Under heavy pressure
You feel it
You Can feel it
But you've got it all
But you have gained it all
Believe it
