A Soldier's King Lyrics - Gift - Kenny Rogers

None seemed to notice the man beside the road 

He was just a raged 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.
