[Verse]
Am               F       G
   I'm just a person
                     Am
I don't claim no country
                     F          G
I just don't need a flag
             Am
To say who I am
                     F          G
Well, I come from my momma
                   Am
Like you and your brother
               F               G
This world is ours
                Am
It's all in your hands

              F                G
I'm just a soldier
             Am
Fighting the sorrow
                   F           G
Holding my head up high
                    Am
Won't beg steal or borrow
                F              G
Oh and if not today
         F             G
If not today, if not today
          Am
Maybe tomorrow

[Instrumental]
 Am F G Am x2

                    F         G
You know I'm only human

                  Am
So I'll make my excuses
                        F      G
But there's one thing I know
                 Am
One thing I can see
                 F             G
It might be too late
                       Am
To change where we're goin'
                  F            G
But in your own mind
                  Am
You can always be free
Yeah
              F              G
I'm just a soldier
                  Am
Fighting that sorrow
                    F       G
Holding my head up high
                      Am
Won't beg steal or borrow
               F           G
Oh and if not today
        F              G
If not today, if not today
              Am           F
Then maybe tomorrow
           G              Am
Maybe tomorrow
Yeah yeah
