Soldier of Love

He’s a soldier of love
And his battles are fought
Not with bullets and guns
But with one loving heart —

He just wanders around,
Spreading his muse
To the hearts that are free,
Kind, gentle and true —
He’s a soldier of love,
Who’s been looking for you.

He’s walked through the fire,
Darkness, snow and rain —
But he never lost sight
Of his ultimate aim.

He was aiming to win
Your mind and your heart —
He’s a soldier of love
In the desert of cars.

And he wanders around,
As he wages his fight —
Perfect love to redeem
And injustice to right.

You have dreamt him before
With the light in his eyes,
As he waltzed through your door
With his love’s battle cry.

And he held you all night
In his strong loving arms —
He’s a soldier of love
And he means no harm.

And then you awoke
But you knew it was true —
He’s a soldier of love,
Who’s been waiting for you.
