Scars of a Soldier

In the silence of the night,

Echoes of the past take flight,

A young boy chased the stars,

Into the world of wars, scars.

From the shadows of a broken home,

Ran away where I’d not roam,

Straight from school to boots on ground,

A soldier's place, a hardened sound.

Ten years of fighting for a cause,

Lost my innocence to the wars,

With ev , ery battle, I changed my name,

A spirit crushed, yet fueled by flame.

Through the fire, through the pain,

I’ve walked through sunshine, walked through rain,

The scars I wear, they tell my tale,

A soldier's heart, I will not fail.

Brothers made in trenches deep,

Promises we swore to keep,

In the dust, we found our pride,

In every loss, in every stride.

But now I’m back, the memories crash,

Faces fade, but shadows flash,

Dreams that haunt and ghosts that call,

In the silence, I feel it all.

Through the fire, through the pain,

I’ve walked through sunshine, walked through rain,

The scars I wear, they tell my tale,

A soldier's heart, I will not fail.

And though the road is filled with fears,

I’ll fight through shadows, push through tears,

With every step, I find my song,

In this life, where I belong.

Through the fire, through the pain,

I’ve walked through sunshine, walked through rain,

The scars I wear, they tell my tale,

A soldier's heart, I will not fail.

In the silence of the night,

I’ve become my own guiding light,

From a boy to a warrior’s might,

I’ll rise again, ready to fight.
