lyrics

Soldado de Amor Lyrics:

Um dia eu vou parar
Com toda esta besteira
Vou acabar com bobeira
Eu sou, eu sou da terra
Eu sou do ceu
Eu sou de alegria
Sou todo seu
Não me conte
Como foi seu dia
Quero viver
A minha vida
Estou lutando
Eu sou guerreiro
Quero ganhar
A luta da vida

Soldado, eu sou
Soldado de amor
Soldado fiel
Com beijos de mel

Um dia eu vou deixar
Deixar tudo pra tras
Eu vou curtir a minha paz
Eu sou, eu sou da terra
Eu sou do ceu
Eu sou de fantasia
Sou todo seu
Não me pertube
Me deixe so
Quero viver
E relaxar
Estou lutando
Eu sou guerreiro
Quero ganhar
O premio da vida
