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 |
