[Verse]
They marched through dust and fire’s breath
Their youth was stolen by the hand of death
Some came home but left their souls behind
In the shadows of war they were redefined
[Chorus]
Forever changed
Forever scarred
Carrying battles in their hearts
Homeless
Broken
Yet still they stand
Loved
Remembered
Across this land
[Verse 2]
The medals shine but the eyes stay dim
Haunted faces tell what’s within
Disfigured bodies but their spirits fight
Through endless days and sleepless nights
[Prechorus]
They gave their all
They gave their best
They bear the weight we can’t confess
[Chorus]
Forever changed
Forever scarred
Carrying battles in their hearts
Homeless
Broken
Yet still they stand
Loved
Remembered
Across this land
[Bridge]
A silent salute
A tear in the rain
Their sacrifice echoes through the pain
We honor their names
Their stories remain
In our hearts they’ll never wane
