Soldier Girl

from We're All We Have by Divine Weeks

/

about

The epic "Soldier Girl" is the most classic Divine Weeks-centric track on "We're All We Have" touching on familiar sonic and emotional territory the band cov
ered on "Bitterness" and "Someday (By & By). Ostensibly, a very intimate love song, "Soldier Girl" hits on a desperate tone of holding on tight to the ones you love because "the future's not what it used to be."

lyrics

SOLDIER GIRL

Our love is storming like the ocean, let the waves crash down on me
And our love is beyond our knowing…it’s all a mystery.
I feel your body move beneath me, I feel your breath mixed with mine.
You are the only thing to me holy…nothin’ in this world more divine.

Be brave little solider girl, it’s us against the world
Oh my little solider girl…it’s us against the world.

ch. All my life, I’ve been running, I was nothing, you made me
something.
The future’s not what it used to be…we’re holding on to love
desperately.
Oh, my little soldier girl…it’s us against the world.

In our refuge, hallowed haven, we lose our minds and find our souls.
Dancing from the inside out, we speak a language all our own.
I love to love you, a love sublime, I can’t get you out of my mind.
You smiled and put your little paw into my hand,
We take a leap a faith that won’t ever land.

ch.

Be brave little solider girl
It’s us against the world
Oh, my little soldier girl
It’s us against the world.

Come on now, take my hand, the whole world’s gone mad.
We’ve gotta hold on to each other because we’re all we have.
