A Soldier's Heart

Richard Hamersma


Genre: Crisis Songs



 




                                    I’ve almost given up thinking
                                    I’d get past these times of strife
                                    With just some more time passing
                                    I’d get back to a normal life

                                    Wasn’t looking to be called a hero
                                    But I thought  people would understand
                                    To live with both fear and bullets
                                    Could lead to a changed man

                                    Now that I’m home from the war
                                    After going and doing my part
                                    I’ve found that the war never left me
                                    Cause now I’ve got a soldier’s heart

                                    There’s not much I now believe in
                                    There’s not many eyes I can trust
                                    The scenes that my mind keeps seeing
                                    Has left my soul covered with rust

                                    I used to like to be around people
                                    Now I rather be alone most days
                                    Nightmares, flashbacks and guilt feelings
                                    Keep pushing all the good thoughts away

                                    Now that I’m home from the war
                                    After going and doing my part
                                    I’ve found that the war never left me
                                    Cause now I’ve got a soldier’s heart

                                    But I’m gonna fight this private battle
                                    And with help the victory will be near
                                    I’ll slay this many headed dragon
                                    And climb out of this valley of tears

                                    Now that I’m home from the war
                                    After going and doing my part
                                    I’ve found that the war never left me
                                    Cause now I’ve got a soldier’s heart

                                    But I’m gonna learn to live
                                    With this soldier’s heart
                                    This soldier’s heart
