[Verse]
Once I was strong, could move a mountain,
Now I tremble, hands are thin.
Once I was certain, sure as the sunrise,
Now doubt creeps under my skin.
[Chorus]
I served my country, I gave it my all,
Fought for the flag, stood proud and tall.
But the years roll by, like a slow, cruel crawl,
Now I’m a shadow, forgotten by all.
[Verse 2]
Once quick on my feet, I danced through the fire,
Now I stumble, slow as rain.
Once a hero, a name they admired,
Now just a man in quiet pain.
[Prechorus]
Time, oh time, it strips you bare,
Leaves you standing, no one there.
[Chorus]
I served my country, I gave it my all,
Fought for the flag, stood proud and tall.
But the years roll by, like a slow, cruel crawl,
Now I’m a shadow, forgotten by all.
[Bridge]
The medals, they gather dust on a shelf,
Each one a memory, not much else.
A story untold, a life set aside,
Once I stood tall, now I just hide.
