Born to Die (A Soldier’s Song)

(Verse 1)
Don’t cry when the morning breaks.
If my name rides on the wind,
I held your photo through the dark—
Your smile lit me from within.
This land’s not ours to hold,
My heart’s already cold.
So kiss the stars, not the sky...
I’m just a soldier born to die.
(Chorus)
Don’t you worry, don’t you weep.
I’ll find peace in endless sleep.
Forged in fire, raised in lies—
Trained to fall beneath the skies.
Let me go, let me fly...
I’m just a soldier born to die.
(Verse 2)
I remember your quiet pride,
How you stood when Grandpa died.
Now I march through fading light,
Trying hard to feel that right.
You taught me how to fight and try—
But I’m just a soldier born to die.
(Verse 3)
Mama, your prayers are warm and kind,
But they can’t calm this war inside.
You baked your strength into my skin,
But out here, I can’t win.
Your lullabies still cross my mind,
But I’m the type war doesn’t find... alive.
(Bridge)
Tell my sister chase the sun.
Live loud. Don’t come undone.
To my friends—keep your hearts strong.
Sing our song when I am gone.
Pour a drink, laugh and cry...
For this soldier born to die.
(Final Chorus)
Don’t you worry, don’t you weep.
Let me drift into my sleep.
Name carved deep where silence lies—
One more star among the skies.
Dry your tears. Lift your eyes.
I’m just a soldier born to die.
