Verse 1
A tiny band of weary knights,
Returning from their endless fights,
Dirty, bruised & bedraggled
From some defeat in battle,
Approached a great, walled, pompous city,
Gray & proud & forbidding.
They looked for refuge there,
But the System refused to care.

Chorus 1
We are children of the Sun,
From every land & tribe we've come,
Rejected by this generation,
Marching toward our heavenly nation.

Verse 2
As they left & trudged on past,
Tired & worn, until at last
They came upon a village
In which a filthy beggar lay in a wayside ditch.
Their hearts reached out to the beggar's cries,
And as the tears came to their eyes,
They said, "That we are just like you,
So come & join us, too."

Chorus 2
We are soldiers of the Lord.
Take up the Word, it’s your sword.
The gates of Hell shall not prevail,
'Cause love & faith will never fail.

Music break: ---- repeat four times

Verse 3
As they rode toward the horizon,
Sunset skies they kept their eyes on.
Instead of getting small, they grew
And filled the sky with others too
Who joined them, & they left behind
The System that was so unkind.
This story is the truth, not lies;
It's happening before your eyes.

Repeat Chorus 1

Repeat Chorus 2

Chorus 3
We are soldiers of the King,
And Jesus leads us as we sing,
'Cause in the end we'll win, you see,
'Cause Jesus has the victory!
