Soldier

When you came back

I knew you'd have a story

You need someone

To ease the pain of living life

You're like a soldier in the fray

Seeking shelter

From all the madness

That you've seen raining down now

I know things change

Your world has slipped away

I know things change

But you're living like a soldier

Who's caught in the fray

Don't lose your faith

It's not so cold

It's not too late

When you were naive

You were so invincible

And you laughed at anyone and anything

That ever got in your way

But now the mirror shows the change

And you don't see that

You're sinking back into the crowd

An echo fading

I know things change

Your world has slipped away

I know things change

But you're living like a soldier

Who's caught in the fray

Don't lose your faith

It's not so cold

It's not too late

And I never thought I'd see

You living on your knees

A slave to some disease

That holds you captive

And you can look inside of me

But the answers that you seek

And everything you need

Is all inside you

I know things change

Your world has slipped away

I know things change

But you're living like a soldier

Who's caught in the fray

Don't lose your faith

Cause it's not so cold

It's not too late
